Shafiqul Alam, Press Secretary to the Chief Adviser, has accused the Awami League of dismantling the foundations of democracy by depriving citizens of their fundamental and voting rights. He further alleged that every top leader of the Awami League was involved in large-scale corruption. “It was the Awami League that initiated the culture of enforced disappearances in Bangladesh,” he added.

He made these remarks while addressing journalists at the “Meet the Reporters” event organized by the Dhaka Reporters’ Unity on Monday (May 12).

Human Rights Violations Behind Party Ban

Blaming the party’s prohibition on its record of rights violations, Shafiqul Alam said, “The Awami League was banned due to its blatant human rights abuses and suppression of voting rights. People can’t even remember the last time they voted. During their regime, all civil liberties were curtailed. The decision to ban the party was taken in consultation with all stakeholders supporting the transitional movement.”

Reforms Ordered to Prevent Market Looting

Commenting on the state of the country’s stock market, Alam stated, “Reforms have been instructed by Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus to ensure that removing one looter doesn’t pave the way for another. If implemented properly, these reforms will accelerate the growth of the stock market at double the current pace.”

Call for Journalists to Advocate for Their Rights

Expressing disappointment with journalists’ unions, Alam remarked, “For the past 15 years, they’ve been preoccupied with land plots in Purbachal. Now is the time to raise voices for real journalists’ rights. No journalist should earn less than BDT 30,000 a month. Any media house unable to meet this minimum salary standard should be shut down.”

Government Committed to Freedom of Speech

Addressing concerns over free speech, he said, “Although freedom of speech is enshrined in the constitution, it has often been violated. The current government is committed to institutionalizing freedom of speech in the country.”
