  • DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP)
  • Bangladesh's former ruling party accused Sunday the interim government of "stoking division" and trampling on "democratic norms" by banning all party activities.

Bangladesh's former ruling party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), has strongly criticized the government's decision to ban all its activities, labeling it as an attack on democracy and an attempt to suppress opposition voices ahead of upcoming elections. The ban, announced by the Home Minister, prohibits BNP from holding rallies, meetings, or any form of public gatherings, citing the party's alleged involvement in recent violent clashes. BNP leaders argue that this move is politically motivated and aimed at weakening the opposition, as they have been vocal critics of the current administration led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The decision has sparked widespread condemnation from human rights organizations and international observers, who fear it could further escalate tensions and undermine the democratic process in Bangladesh.
