Attorney General Mohammad Asaduzzaman remarked that the Awami League could be banned under Section 19 of the Special Powers Act of 1974—enacted during Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's one-party rule. Citing a UN report, he claimed the July revolution resulted in 2,000 deaths and 30,000 people disabled. Over the past 17 years, 700 individuals were allegedly murdered and 4,500 victims subjected to extrajudicial killings, with 6 million facing politically motivated charges. He concluded that the people of Bangladesh will ensure justice and uphold the rule of law, God willing.
