Amir Hossain Amu is a Bangladeshi politician and senior leader in the Bangladesh Awami League.

Party leader

When party president Sheikh Hasina Wajed was exiled by the Caretaker government of Bangladesh (2006–08), Amu became one of top leaders who preserved and represented the party in her absence.[1][2]

However, he also developed differences with Sheikh Hasina, criticising her for making a pact with the Islamist Khelafat Majlish party despite the Awami League's policy of secularism, and not discussing it first with other party leaders.[1][2] Sheikh Hasina in turn criticised Amu for appearing supportive of the caretaker government.[1][2] He is the minister of Industries.[3]
