UNB, Dhaka :
Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Huq on Friday said the government will take steps to ban Jamaat-e-Islami by June this year for its involvement in crimes against humanity during the Liberation War in 1971.
“The government is thinking of banning the anti-liberation force Jamaat, but it has no plan to ban other religion-based political parties,” he said. The minister was addressing a function, ‘Muktir Utsab 2014’, organised by the Liberation War Museum at Physical Education Centre of Dhaka University.
On August 1 last year, a High Court bench declared
Jamaat’s registration with the Election Commission illegal.
The military-backed caretaker government introduced the registration system for the political parties in 2008 and a total of 38 political parties, including Jamaat, got registered with the Election Commission.
