Sources indicate that the banned Bangladesh Awami League is planning a symbolic return to politics on March 26, Independence Day. The party, ousted after the 2024 student–public uprising, is reportedly mobilizing mid- and grassroots-level activists from within Bangladesh and abroad to mark its presence at the National Memorial in Savar. Law enforcement authorities have reiterated that no banned party is permitted to operate publicly, while other political groups aligned with the current government have declared zero tolerance toward such activities.

Reports suggest that Awami League leaders in exile, including in India, are coordinating efforts to reopen sealed local offices and reestablish organizational visibility. The party’s cultural wing has been active online, producing propaganda content. Intelligence sources claim that the group’s strategy includes using emotional and media-driven narratives to regain public sympathy. Meanwhile, the government has yet to decide on a formal response, though security agencies have briefed top officials on the situation.

Legal experts cited in the report note that any attempt to revive a banned party without court or government approval would be unlawful and politically risky.
