Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam on Saturday said that the Awami League in its current form is a fascist party. There is no way this fascist party will be allowed to hold protests in Bangladesh.
Terming Bangladesh Awami League a "fascist" party, Shafiqul Alam said, the interim government will not tolerate any violence or any attempt to break the public order in the country, Alam said in a post in his verified Facebook account.
"The Awami League has no chance to protest in Bangladesh. If anyone tries to hold meetings, gatherings and processions on the orders of mass murderer and dictator Sheikh Hasina, the law and order forces will deal with it strictly," Alam said.
From its verified Facebook post, Bangladesh Awami League urged its activists to come to Shaheed Noor Hossain Chatter - Zero Point, Gulistan, on November 10 and protest against what they call "misrule".
"Our protest is against the deprivation of the rights of the people of the country; Our protest is against the rise of fundamentalist forces; our protest is against the conspiracy to disrupt the lives of the common people," reads the Facebook post.
On November 10, 1987, Noor Hossain, a leader of Awami Juba League, was killed in police firing while protesting against the then autocratic rule of Gen HM Ershad at the capital's zero point near Gulistan.
Chhatra League Meanwhile, urging everyone to keep educational institutions across the country safe, Chief Adviser's Press Secretary told a seminar on Saturday that the campuses must not be turned into dens of terrorism.
Safety has to be ensured at educational institutions and terrorism has to be eradicated from campuses to keep Bangladesh safe, he said while addressing a seminar at the National Press Club in Dhaka on Saturday morning, reports Jamuna TV.
"It has to be ensured that the students can pay attention to their studies. Students should feel motivated to build a new Bangladesh while remaining on their campuses," added Shafiqul.
Bangladesh Chhatra League, the student wing of Awami League, was against the students during the July-August uprising as they created a narrative of fascism, he said.
"Chhatra League had kept the whole country hostage. They even created discrimination in jobs by depriving capable candidates," he added.
