The Chief Adviser’s Press Wing stated in a speech on Thursday that Bangladesh’s time government has no plans to outlaw the Awami League, but members of its management accused of crimes, including murder and crimes against humanity, will face trial in the government’s authorities.
Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus confirmed that the state has set two possible election timelines in a statement to a group from the International Crisis Group led by Comfort Ero. He assured the party that the times do not change, according to the statement.
Additionally, Professor Yunus claimed that the government is still considering referring Awami League officials to the Hague International Criminal Court. Following a UN fact-finding mission’s statement on possible crimes committed during the uprising in July, this is followed.
He continued,” It is very much on the table,” underscoring the Interim Government’s position on transparency.
Yunus reaffirmed the government’s dedication to holding primaries as scheduled, saying no delays may be made for any requests. He explained that if social events just make a few minor changes before the votes, the election will take place in December. Elections may be held in June of next year if they ask for a more comprehensive reform offer. He continued,” We have no reason to change the election dates,” underscoring that the process will be conducted freely and fairly.
The Consensus Building Commission is currently negotiating with political events, according to the Chief Adviser. The July Charter, which may serve as the guiding framework for federal guidelines in the upcoming month, is currently being planned and signed.
The statement read,” The International Crisis Group leaders praised the arrest of Rohingya rebel chief Ataullah this week, citing the Interim Government’s commitment to peace and stability in the refugee camps.”
Additionally, the committee urged greater cooperation with the Arakan Army, which is in charge of the majority of Myanmar’s Rakhine State. Professor Yunus acknowledged their fears and stated that Bangladesh is working to mobilize humanitarian assistance for Rohingya immigrants. He expressed wish that the upcoming UN meeting on the Rohingya problems will bring more worldwide attention to the continuing humanitarian issues.
Shelter Ero praised Bangladesh for battling misconceptions that targeted its interim government and its citizens. In closing, Professor Yunus reaffirmed Bangladesh’s need for strong ties with India while lamenting that American media has contributed significantly to the spread of misinformation against the country.
