Notification on Jamaat ban anytime, says Home Minister

The process to ban Jamaat-Shibir is underway and notification can be issued anytime in this regard, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said on Wednesday, reports UNB.

The minister came up with the remark while talking to reporters in his Secretariat office on Wednesday evening.

Asked whether there will be new unrest in the country due to the banning of Jamaat-Shibir, the home minister said that Jamaat-Shibir has created this situation.

"We have come to know that Jamaat, BNP and other militant organizations were involved in the violence centering the student movement," said the minister.

Questioned whether Jamaat-Shibir will be banned by tonight, the minister said, "A lot of things can happen, but still I would say it is in process. You will be notified when it happens."

Earlier on Monday, the Awami League-led 14-party alliance unanimously recommended banning Jamaat-Shibir after a meeting at the Gonobhaban.
