This decision was taken during a meeting at Banga Bhavan (President’s House) chaired by the country’s President Mohammad Shahabuddin. On the other hand, attacks on the leaders of Bangladesh’s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s party Awami League are continuing. Bodies of 20 more Awami League leaders have been recovered from across Bangladesh. Houses and business establishments of many Awami League leaders and workers are also being vandalized and looted.
