The ruling Awami League-led 14-party alliance on Monday (29 July) announced that it will ban Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Chhatra Shibir in the country.
The decision was taken in a meeting of the alliance chaired by AL President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her residence Ganabhaban, AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader told reporters after the meeting.
"The alliance has agreed to ban Jamaat-Shibir politics on the charges of killing common people and destroying state assets by creating various issues and carrying out militant attacks," Quader said.
Rashed Khan Menon, a central leader of the alliance and president of the Workers Party, said, "We unanimously decided to ban Jamaat-Shibir. Now it is the responsibility of the government to implement it."
