US lawmakers urge sanctions on officials who served under ousted Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina. Senator Van Hollen, a Democratic member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has led the effort to impose sanctions on Obaidul Quader and Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal, citing concerns over human rights abuses during Hasina's tenure. The move comes amid reports that Hasina's visa was revoked by US authorities, sparking controversy. While some have questioned the legitimacy of her government, others argue that sanctions could hinder efforts to promote democracy in Bangladesh.
