Drawing a parallel to Nazi fugitives fleeing Germany, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed declared on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, during the third day of the 13th National Parliament's fourth session, that the leaders of the fallen, banned Awami League who fled during the mass uprising will never be able to return to Bangladesh or engage in politics.

Addressing Parliament under Rule 300, the Home Minister strongly criticized cross-border instigations from fugitive leaders attempting to incite unrest, target July movement participants, and disrupt the nation. Responding to opposition queries, he also underscored the historical links between arson and the Awami League, citing the tragic 2004 Shahbagh bus burning incident that claimed 11 lives. Furthermore, Ahmed highlighted that International Crimes Tribunal investigative teams are expanding district-wide to ensure justice for past enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and July massacre atrocities.

Presenting comparative police data from February to October (2025 versus 2026), the Home Minister demonstrated significant improvements in law and order: murders decreased from 2,938 to 2,651, mob violence dropped sharply from 55 to 16 cases, and violence against women declined by 125 incidents. He concluded by warning that while the government remains committed to human rights and avoiding repressive police tactics, strict legal action will be taken against saboteurs, criminal syndicates, and those attempting to instigate garment sector unrest using cross-border funding.
