Law Adviser Asif Nazrul rejected the possibility of lifting restrictions on Awami League's political activities following the February general elections, stating the ban would continue in the near future. Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus had suggested in a recent interview that restrictions could be removed at any time, but Nazrul dismissed these comments as merely theoretical arguments. The law adviser made these remarks on Wednesday after visiting a Puja Mandap at Sree Sree Sankar Math in Barishal city, where he met with Hindu community leaders.
Nazrul explained that when a party faces a ban, the only consideration is whether the restriction is permanent or temporary. He confirmed that national elections would take place in the first half of February 2026. The adviser also addressed violence in the Chattogram Hill Tracts, pledging government action against those responsible for the unrest.
