...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections.

at a late night meeting on Friday with the leaders of the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) and Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA) said to go tough against the owners if they don't turn themselves in to the police.
"We've asked Mahbubur Rahman Tapas and Bazlul Samad Adnan, owners of New Weave Bottoms and New Weave Style, to surrender to us as they turned themselves in at BGMEA building in the early hours of Saturday," a Detective Branch official told Xinhua Saturday morning.
The official, who preferred to be unnamed, said they were looking for the owners of three other factories and the owner of the building.
He said detectives were looking for Aminul Islam of Phantom Apparels and Phantom Tac Bangladesh Ltd. and Anisur Rahman of Ethertex Textiles who are on the run.
The building owner Sohel Rana went into hiding shortly after he was rescued from the rubble of the eight-storey building.
Encouraged by the building owner, all the five factories had allegedly forced their employees to work on Wednesday even though several cracks developed Tuesday.
In an apparent move to douse ongoing unrest among workers demanding capital punishments for the owners of the building and the factories, Bangladesh's ready-made garment sector announced Friday to shut down all the factories across the country on Saturday and Sunday.
Hours before the announcement was made, more than 10 associations of workers called a dawn-to-dusk strike in the garment sector on Sunday.
