An ordinance issued by the interim government to ban the activities of the ousted Awami League has been passed in parliament in the form of a bill.
The Anti-Terrorism Bill 2026, introduced by Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed, was passed by a 'yes' vote in the National Assembly on Wednesday (April 8) afternoon.
Through this, the existing anti-terrorism law is being further amended and tightened. The activities of the banned Awami League will remain banned.
Speaking in parliament, the Home Minister said that although there was already an anti-terrorism law in the country, the interim government issued a special ordinance in view of the recent situation and public opinion. That ordinance contains provisions to ban the activities of organizations associated with genocide, under which the activities of the Awami League were also banned, he mentioned.
Earlier, the first session of the 13th National Parliament resumed at 11 am under the chairmanship of Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed Bir Bikram.
