Sheikh Hasina's Awami League faces prospect of being banned

Dhaka, Oct 29 (UNI) Since the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from Bangladesh, there has been a massive crackdown on her Awami League (AL) party by the Muhammed Younus-led interim government.
Even though the Awami League can continue its political activities for now, the party faces the prospect of being outlawed, after the interim government banned its student wing– the Chhatra League (BCL).
This also seems more likely as the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of former PM Khaleda Zia is seeking the support of the Jamaat-e-Islami in stopping a possible comeback of the AL.
