Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus-led interim government will not allow what it terms the "fascist" Awami League to hold protests in the country today (Sunday).
Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said this in his Facebook post on Sunday.
He also said the government will not tolerate any violence or any attempt to break the public order in the country.
“The Awami League in its current form is a fascist party. There is no way this fascist party will be allowed to hold protests in Dhaka as well as Bangladesh,” Alam said in a Facebook post.
He also warned against any attempts to organise rallies or processions under Sheikh Hasina's direction.
Terming Bangladesh Awami League a "fascist" party, Shafiqul Alam said that the current the interim government will not tolerate any violence or any attempt to break the public order in the country.
"The party has no chance to protest in Bangladesh. If anyone tries to hold meetings, gatherings and processions on the orders of mass murderer and dictator Sheikh Hasina, the law and order forces will deal with it strictly," he said in a post in his verified Facebook account.
From its verified Facebook post, Bangladesh Awami League called upon its activists to come to Shaheed Noor Hossain Chatter - Zero Point, Gulistan, on November 10 (today), and protest against what they call "misrule”.
"Our protest is against the deprivation of the rights of the people of the country; Our protest is against the rise of fundamentalist forces; our protest is against the conspiracy to disrupt the lives of the common people," reads the Facebook post of Awami League.
On November 10, 1987, Noor Hossain, a leader of Awami Jubo League, was killed in police firing while protesting against the then autocratic rule of Gen HM Ershad at the capital's zero point near Gulistan.
Awami League has not been able to hold any rally in the captial and other parts of the countryafter August 5. On August 8, Professor Yunus-led interim government took power.
