None to be allowed to hold protests under AL banner: CA press secretary
Chief Adviser Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam has said none will be allowed to hold protests under the banner of fallen Awami League (AL).
"Anyone dares to hold illegal protests under AL banner will face full power of the law," he wrote a post on his verified Facebook account today.
Since it took over in early August, he said, the interim government has not stopped or banned any lawful protests. "We believe in freedom of assembly and freedom of association," he said.
The press secretary said one report this morning showed that at least 136 protests took place alone in Dhaka in the past five and a half months.
"Some of these protests triggered massive traffic congestion. Yet, the interim government has never imposed any restrictions on the protests," he said.
