DHAKA, May 13, 2025 (BSS) - Noting that elections are entirely Bangladesh's internal matter, Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam today said the wounds caused by the crimes against humanity perpetrated by Awami League are still fresh.

"The wounds caused by the crimes against humanity perpetrated by this party are still fresh," he told BSS in his reaction to India's comments on the ban of AL activities.

"We have witnessed how Awami League completely destroyed our democratic fabric, severely squeezed our political space and compromised our sovereignty during its 15-year long tyrannical and kleptocratic rule," Alam said.

He reiterated that the ban on activities of the AL is necessary to protect national security and sovereignty, ensure the safety of July Movement activists and safeguard plaintiffs and witnesses of the International Crimes Tribunal.

"As for elections, we recall how the Awami League repeatedly resorted to grossly farcical elections and caused irreparable damages to our electoral processes and institutions," the press secretary said.

The interim government, he said, is engaged in a reform process to rebuild the country's democratic system.

"Elections are entirely our internal matter. We urge all to respect the sovereign will of our people in matters relating to elections," Alam said.
