Awami League is not rehabilitated before trial: Adviser Nahid

Post, Telecommunication and Information Technology Advisor of the Interim Government. Nahid Islam said that in the last 15 years, Awami League as a party and its leaders and activists were involved in corruption, misrule and genocide from a personal position and were the main guides. For this they will be brought to justice and then the people will decide whether they will have politics or not. However, he said that there is no chance to rehabilitate Awami League in politics before the trial process.

He said this in an exclusive interview with Deutsche Welle. Apart from this, Naheed talked about student political parties, his personal political aspirations, militancy, genocide cases, digital security law and election reform.

To a question regarding neutrality from the government advisor, Nahid said, 'We have done this coup against fascism and we are in the government to implement the pledge of this coup. The aim and goal is the same, we want to abolish this fascist structure and build a new Bangladesh – where social justice and democracy will be guaranteed.'

Asked about the list of casualties in the movement, Advisor Nahid said, 'We have a committee from the Ministry of Health which has members of the anti-discrimination movement. They are dealing with the injured. Also working on martyrs. It is almost at the end and the foundation, that foundation is also connected with the work of this list.'

Information advisor on reforms said, We are thinking of comprehensive reforms. This is what we said during the coup – we want a new political settlement. In that case, in 15 years, the entire state structure of Bangladesh has rotted and rotted. In that case, if it is not possible to reform all the sectors as a whole, then the problem will not be solved. He said that work is going on to solve the problem by maintaining overall communication.
