Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed stated that the Awami League’s political demise occurred following the student and public uprising on August 5, 2024, and that its symbolic burial took place in Delhi. He made the remarks on Saturday at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Center in Agargaon during the ‘July National Conference 2026,’ organized to mark the anniversary of the July-August uprising, mourning, and victory.

The minister said that the Awami League would soon face trial as a political party for alleged terrorist activities, with necessary legal processes already underway. He urged people not to commercialize the spirit of July and called for unity and patience amid the country’s economic situation, assuring that the government was working according to its plans.

Salahuddin Ahmed also accused exiled autocrats and their associates of conspiring to destabilize the country and undermine the democratic government. He emphasized that the government remained vigilant against such activities and urged citizens to uphold the ideals of the July movement to advance national development.
