The interim government says it is seriously considering the demand to ban the Awami League, which has recently been raised by various political parties, organisations and the public on charges of operating an autocratic rule and terrorist activities.
A statement issued by the Chief Advisor’s Office on Friday said that the government has already established contact with the political parties and plans to take a decision quickly after discussing the issue with them.
The statement also mentioned that the government is also taking into consideration the UN report on the terrorist activities of Awami League leaders and supporters, and called on everyone to be patient until then.
The government has already banned the Chhatra League – the Awami League’s student unit – as a terrorist organisation under the existing law in response to public demand, the statement said.
In addition, the CAO said, the government has taken steps to bring necessary amendments to the International Criminal Court Act to take action against organisations involved in crimes against humanity.
The government is also aware of the public anger over the foreign travel of the former president of the “fascist government” and murder suspect Abdul Hamid, the statement said.
The government is determined to take appropriate legal action against all those involved in this incident, it added.
