Adviser to Information and Broadcasting Ministry Mahfuj Alam has said the government will not take any decision alone regarding the ban on Awami League (AL), report agencies.
"The government thinks it cannot make the decision alone to ban the AL without consultation with other political parties, and our local and foreign partners and stakeholders," he said.
Though the country's people repeatedly demanded banning of Awami League, the adviser said, "But we believe the government will make this decision after consultation and reviewing the matter involving all".
Mahfuj made the remarks while talking to journalists after visiting the Purba Narayanpur Islamia Junior Dakhil Madrasa at Isapur union in Ramganj upazila of Lakshmipur district on Wednesday.
Earlier, he arrived at his village home here and met with his family members. Mahfuj offered munajat at his paternal grandparents' graves too.
Speaking on the next general elections, the adviser said Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus had stated that elections would be held between December of this year and June 2026.
"It will depend on how much reforms will take place and how these will be made. We should keep the elections limited within this period. The government has no ambition rather than that," Mahfuj said.
