Observer Online Report

Information and Broadcasting State Minister Yeaser Khan Chowdhury has warned media outlets against publicising the activities of the banned Awami League.

While responding to journalists’ questions after a meeting with the Broadcast Journalists Centre (BJC) at the Secretariat on Tuesday, the state minister said that the activities of the Awami League are prohibited, and so is the promotion of those activities.

''The media should keep this in mind.''

Referring to the government’s decision to ban the party’s activities, Yeaser Khan said a gazette notification published on May 12, 2025, explicitly prohibited all activities of the Bangladesh Awami League and its affiliated, associate and allied organisations.

The restrictions cover any form of publication, publicity through mass media or online social media platforms, rallies, processions, public meetings and other organised activities, he said.

The minister also accused the party of involvement in arson, enforced disappearances and killings, alleging that such violence was not new to its political history.

“Those who are carrying out arson attacks today are not doing anything new. Their politics is about destruction.''

The state minister dismissed reports of isolated incidents of violence in different parts of the country as consistent with what he described as the party’s pattern of activities.

He maintained that the ban extends beyond the party’s organisational activities to their promotion and publicity through the media.
