BSS, Dhaka

The interim government will soon take steps to ban the Awami League as a political party, Local Government, Rural Development, and Cooperatives Adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain said yesterday.

“First of all, it is very positive that political parties have reached a ‘consensus’ on banning the Awami League,” he stated in an interview with BSS, marking six months of the interim government.

Asif Mahmud, who also serves as the adviser to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, said the people of the country rejected the undemocratic and monopolistic rule of the Awami League. “This is why political parties are now reaching a consensus on banning the party,” he added.
