Shafiqul Alam, the press secretary to Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, has warned of a strict crackdown on any attempts by the banned Awami League to stage programmes on the streets of Dhaka. In a post in English on his verified Facebook account on Monday, Shafiqul cautioned the party’s supporters against “testing the patience” of July activists. “The BAL, its enablers and their mass-murderer leader seem to think this is 28 Oct, 2006 all over again,” he wrote. Sorry — this is a New Bangladesh.”He added, “Any attempt by banned political or terrorist outfits to hold protests will be met with the full force of the law. And remember: it is not 28 October, 2006.
