India said on Tuesday that it was concerned by the ban on the Awami League, as well as the ‘curtailment of democratic freedoms’ and "shrinking political space’ in Bangladesh.
"We strongly support the early holding of free, fair and inclusive elections in Bangladesh," Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said at a media briefing on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
Recently, the interim government banned all activities of the Awami League under the Anti-Terrorism Act after days of protests.
Besides, the election commission also suspended the registration of ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's Awami League.
