The Bangladeshi government has issued an order outlawing the country’s largest Islamic party and all its affiliates in the wake of last month’s deadly unrest that prompted the government to impose a curfew and deploy troops.
As the government believes that Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami (Society of Islam), its student wing and its front organizations are involved with terrorist activities, the government declared these banned, the government order issued on Thursday said.
The government possesses enough evidence that Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing were involved in the recent killings, destructions and terrorist activities directly and through incitement, the order said, referring to the last month’s violent protests over government job quota reforms.
