AL should not only be banned but completely eradicated: Adviser Asif

Local Government Adviser Asif Mahmud Sajib Bhuiyan has stated that the Awami League should not only be banned but completely eradicated for carrying out a genocide.

Speaking at a youth festival event at Adamjee Cantonment College on Wednesday, he told reporters that the party must be eliminated both ideologically and politically through judicial prohibition.

He emphasised that this process should follow legal and social measures, including truth commissions or similar precedents set in other countries.

A truth commission would guide the country's future political landscape, said Asif, who is also the local government adviser, urging everyone to unite in building a new Bangladesh.

Additionally, he addressed a recent attack at Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (Kuet), saying law enforcement had been instructed to swiftly bring those responsible to justice.
