BNP leader Ishraq Hossain claimed on Facebook that the people "buried" the Awami League on August 5. He insisted that after their trial, the party’s registration must be revoked, effectively issuing a "death certificate." He further stated that Bangladesh will not tolerate betrayal of its martyrs and called for banning the Awami League as a political entity, labeling it a "genocidal fascist organization." He also demanded action against the Jatiya Party for its alliance with the Awami League.
