Any activity in AL's name will be considered illegal: AG
Attorney General Md Asaduzzaman Ripon on Friday warned that any activity or programme in the name of Awami League (AL), which he described as a ‘banned entity,’ will be considered as illegal.
He made the remarks while addressing journalists at a discussion and cultural programme marking the birth and death anniversary of national awakening poet Golam Mostofa in Shailkupa upazila of Jhenaidah district.
The attorney general said the victorious forces of the July uprising will determine the outcome of future referendums and shape Bangladesh’s path.
He said that the forces victorious in the 1971 liberation war framed the constitution of 1972, and the 1990 movement restored democracy in the country.
He warned that the government and law enforcement agencies would lawfully confront any anarchy linked to the AL, particularly over the verdict of genocide cases.
Highlighting the poet’s legacy, Asaduzzaman said the poet’s works reflect the life, consciousness, and struggle of Bengali Muslims.
He added that studying Mostofa’s creations helps Bangladeshis uphold their struggle, rights, heritage, and egalitarian ideals, reports UNB.
Prominent personalities including Mia Mosharraf Hossain and the poet’s son, renowned artist Mostofa Monowar, were honoured at the event.
