Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has said he does not consider the Awami League a political party, describing it instead as a “mafia group”, and added that its activities remain banned.
However, while briefing journalists at the home ministry today, he added that the police have been instructed to remain alert ahead of the party’s founding anniversary on June 23.
Referring to the arrest of former IGP Benazir Ahmed from the United Arab Emirates, the minister expressed hope that UAE authorities would complete legal procedures and facilitate his repatriation soon.
He said the home ministry was working on the matter with due urgency, adding that the UAE had requested Bangladesh to submit required documents within 30 days.
