The Bangladesh Nationalist Party on Sunday welcomed the interim government’s decision to ban all activities of the Awami League and its affiliates, calling it a timely and essential step towards delivering justice for the alleged crimes against humanity committed under the AL regime.

‘We consider the decision to amend the relevant laws to bring the fascist party — which for years carried out enforced disappearances, murders, repression, and misrule against the people — to trial as a correct and necessary step,’ BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said in a statement.
