Asif Nazrul, law adviser to the interim government, has said that the people will decide whether the Awami League and the 14-party alliance will be able to participate in the elections.
He said this while talking to reporters after a meeting with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk on Tuesday (October 29).
The law adviser said that the people will consider whether the Awami League and the 14-party alliance, which has no remorse even after committing genocide, will be able to participate in the elections before the trial.
At the time, the adviser emphasized the role of the people in determining the eligibility of parties accused of human rights violations.
Responding to a question from journalists, Asif Nazrul said, “This is not my place to say. Now if you think that those who killed thousands of people, maimed forty-fifty thousand more, and gouged out the eyes of others, still speak in favor of those crimes.”
He said, if the leaked record is correct, then their leader has still threatened to take 287 people into custody. A terrorist sitting in another country is making threats, who is an accused in a genocide case. Before trial, before acquittal, will they run a political program to kill thousands more people? So everything will come through a process. He also said, after carrying out the genocide, a group is still trying to mislead. Trying to call the leaders of such a big movement a gang of teenagers, threatening to kill more people, every person will consider whether that group should have political rights or not. We will see after the trial process is over.
