NCP senior leader Nahid Islam criticized the interim government for failing to take concrete steps toward banning the Awami League or initiating legal action against its leaders. “On August 5, 2024, students and citizens overthrew the fascist ideology of Mujibism through a historic uprising. Yet today, Awami League members still march under that banner,” Nahid said. He called on citizens to attend today’s post-Jumu’ah rally at Baitul Mukarram Mosque to demand justice and a formal ban on the party. “AL has no moral or legal right to participate in Bangladeshi politics,” he added.
