Bangladesh's interim government on Wednesday lifted the ban on the Jamaat-e-Islami party. Jamaat-e-Islami is the largest Muslim party in Bangladesh. Hasina's government banned it on August 1. He was accused of inciting riots during the student agitation. The Ministry of Home Affairs of Bangladesh has released a notice saying that there is no evidence that the Jamaat-e-Islami Party and its affiliated organizations are involved in terrorist activities. That is why the ban imposed on them is being lifted. Jamaat-e-Islami Party banned from contesting elections since 2013 Jamaat-e-Islami Party was founded in 1941 in undivided India during British rule. The party opposed the creation of a separate Bangladesh in 1971. He also campaigned against the independence movement. In 2013, the High Court declared the Jamaat-e-Islami party's manifesto a violation of the Constitution. In 2018, the Election Commission canceled the registration of the Jamaat. After this, the party was banned from contesting elections. Most of the senior Jamaat leaders are in jail or hanged for murder, kidnapping, rape and other crimes committed during the 1971 independence movement. Jamaat leaders are accused of promoting fundamentalism and attacking minorities. This party has been calling itself pro-Pakistan. Although the interim government has lifted the ban on him, the ban on him from contesting elections is still in place. Jamaat-e-Islami lawyer Shishir Monir said the party will move the Supreme Court next week to lift the ban on contesting elections.
