Chief Advisor Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus said that Awami League has not been banned, nor has their registration been suspended. Only the party’s activities have been temporarily suspended.

He said this in response to a question from journalist Mehdi Hasan in an interview given to GTO on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session.

Dr. Yunus said that since the activities have been suspended, Awami League will not be able to conduct any political activities. They remain legal as a party, but their activities have been temporarily suspended. These activities can be resumed at any time. The ban on activities can be lifted at any time.

In response to a question, he said that the issue of Awami League participating in the elections is the jurisdiction of the Election Commission. The Election Commission will decide which party can participate in the elections, because they are the ones conducting the elections.

The chief advisor further said, “Awami League has supporters, but I do not accept that they have millions of supporters. Their supporters can vote like ordinary voters, but there will be no Awami League symbol there.” He alleged that although Awami League claims to be a political party, in reality they have not been able to behave like a political party. They have killed people, have not accepted responsibility for their actions and have always blamed others.
