Bangladesh's Law Advisor Asif Nazrul stated on Wednesday that the interim government has no immediate plans to remove restrictions on Awami League operations. His comments contradicted earlier remarks by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, who suggested the party's suspension could be temporary. The ban took effect on May 12 under anti-terrorism legislation and remains in place pending tribunal proceedings.
The interim government has arrested numerous Awami League members since former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina departed in August. Election officials confirmed Hasina cannot vote in the upcoming elections because authorities blocked her national identity card. The Election Commission previously removed the party's official symbol from its website in July, further limiting its political presence ahead of national elections.
