Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus clarified that authorities suspended Awami League political activities but did not ban the party. The Nobel laureate explained this distinction on the sidelines of the 80th UN General Assembly session in New York. He told Zeteo that the suspension could be lifted at any time, but AL cannot participate in the upcoming elections for now. Yunus defended the temporary suspension as necessary for arranging elections.
The chief adviser rejected criticism from Amartya Sen and others about government action against AL. He said the party killed people without expressing remorse or accepting responsibility for its actions. Yunus maintained that AL remains a legal political entity despite the activity suspension. He argued the party's conduct was not political but criminal in nature, and it continues blaming others for its failures.
