We informed them about the UN report in this regard. We believe that whether Awami terrorists are at home or abroad, we will take legal remedies against them, and we believe that the crimes committed by Awami terrorists can be legally resolved, and Awami League will no longer get the opportunity to return to Bangladesh with its terrorism.”
