Mohammad apologized to the ambassador and assured him that the Islamic Democratic Party will not be allowed to register. He was a close friend to H.T. Imam, advisor to former Prime Minister and Awami League chairperson, Sheikh Hasina. His friendship provided a link between the caretaker government and Awami League. {
