Typical Islamic hooliganism. If you can not defeat a party in election, topple the government, ban that party from fighting election, set a puppet government on chair, enjoy power from back ground, and push radical Islamic agenda, be billionaire and leave public at the mercy of Allah.

The adviser came up with the remarks after the meeting of the Advisory Council Committee on Law and Order at the Secretariat on Monday.

"It is our responsibility to implement the law that will be passed.'

The passport of former President Abdul Hamid, who went abroad, has not been cancelled. Regarding whether any action is being taken against those involved in the passport, he said, a committee has been formed in this regard. He (Abdul Hamid) was the honourable president. "I do not know whether all laws apply to everyone," he added.

He added that the committee will investigate and see whether it was legal or illegal for him to have a passport.

"Even though presidents are not in office, they are number four according to the warrant of presidency. They do get some privileges and benefits on that account. The committee will see whether he has been given some benefits outside the protocol," he mentioned.

Regarding the recovery of illegal weapons, Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said, the operation to recover illegal weapons is still ongoing.

However, the quantity we wanted was not recovered.​

The Election Commission (EC) has suspended the registration of the Awami League.

EC Senior Secretary Akhter Ahmed briefed the media about the decision at 9:15 pm on Monday.

The move came hours after the government issued a gazette banning all activities of the Awami League and its affiliated organisations under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

On Saturday, the Council of Advisers decided to suspend all political activities of the Awami League and its affiliates until the trials of its leaders and activists--over alleged links to atrocities during the July uprising--are completed at the International Crimes Tribunal, amid three days of continued protests led by the National Citizen Party demanding action against the party.

On Sunday, the Council of Advisers gave its policy and final approval to the draft of the Anti-Terrorism (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025 with provisions to ban any individual or entity involved in terrorist acts.​

The interim government has issued a gazette notification imposing a ban on all sorts of political activities of the Bangladesh Awami League and its associate bodies until the completion of the trial of the party’s leaders and activists at the International Crimes Tribunal on allegations of crime against humanity.

The Public Security Division under the home ministry issued the gazette notification today, Monday. The ban came under the Anti-terrorism Act (amended).

Public Security Division joint secretary Ziauddin Ahmed confirmed this to Prothom Alo Monday afternoon.

Earlier, on Sunday, the interim government issued the Anti-terrorism Act (amended) Ordinance including a new provision of imposing ban on persons or any entity (organisation) involved in violence and terrorism.

As per the previous version of the act, to meet the purpose of the act, the government may, on the basis of reasonable grounds that any person or entity is involved in terrorist acts, list such a person in the Schedule or declare the entity prohibited and list it in the Schedule by issuing official gazette notifications.

However, there was no provision in the law regarding the prohibition of the activities of any entity. The new amendment allows the government to impose a ban on activities of any entity.

According to the Anti-Terrorism Act, the term ‘entity’ refers to legal entities, statutory agencies, commercial or non-commercial organisations, group, partnership business, cooperative associations and any organisation comprising one or more persons.

On Saturday, three decisions were taken in the advisory council meeting presided over by chief adviser Muhammad Yunus. As per those decisions, the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) Act has been amended.

According to that amendment, the International Crimes Tribunal can punish any party or its associate bodies. Apart from that, decisions were taken to protect the country’s sovereignty until Awami League leaders’ trials at the ICT are complete, ensuring security of July protesters and imposing ban on Awami League’s activities, including its activities on cyber space, to ensure safety of the plaintiffs and eyewitnesses in the cases filed with the ICT.

The advisory council also decided to finalise and publish the Proclamation of the July uprising within the next 30 working days.​

Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam spoke at a “Meet the Press” event held at the Sagar-Runi auditorium of the DRU in the capital on 12 May 2025 BSS

Press Secretary to the Chief Adviser Shafiqul Alam on Monday said that people of the country had breathed a ‘sigh of relief’ following the ban on the activities of Awami League as they had accepted such a ban.

“The current interim government is the peoples’ government but previously the Awami League had snatched the voting rights of people while people had also forgotten when they exercised their voting rights last,” he said.

In this connection, the press secretary said the AL was banned for violating human rights and snatching voting rights of people.

“They (AL) had curbed all the rights of the country’s people…The ban on the activities of AL has been imposed following consultations with all the parties of the mass uprising,” he added.

The Press Secretary was talking at the “Meet the Press” event at the Sagar-Runi auditorium of the Dhaka Reporters’ Unity (DRU) in the capital today.

Shafiqul said although the UN report had mentioned about the killing of some 1,400 people during the uprising last year, the actual number is more than this.

“But, there is no regret among the AL men as they had labeled anyone as ‘militant’. But, now comfort has been restored among the people of Bangladesh following the ban on the activities of AL,” he said.

Referring to the issue of journalists’ rights and enhancing their facilities, the Press Secretary said that the journalists unions should come forward and thus raise their voices over increasing the facilities of the journalists and media workers.

“But, our unions were busy over bagging plots in Purbachal over the last 15 years while those did not play any effective role in the interests of the journalists. They had fraud severely with the journalists,” he added.

Laying emphasis on ensuring proper salaries of the journalists to improve their living standards, the CA’s Press Secretary said that the issue is also related to the dignity of the profession, not only with the financial terms.

DRU President Abu Saleh Akon and General Secretary Mynul Hossain Sohel were present, among others, on the occasion.​

The problem with you guys is that you are self declared experts of any subject. You just declare that others know nothing about some subject and you become expert of that subject.

Asif Nazrul needs Dr. Yunus to implement his plan to rehabilitate Awami League in politics. He cannot function alone. Dr. Yunus is an India friendly guy he even attended the party threw by Ambani in his honor.
