On Thursday, Bangladesh has banned the Jamaat-e-Islami party, along with its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir and other groups that the government deemed as “militant and terrorist following its crackdown on protests that led to the deaths of more than 200 people and leaving thousands injured in the past few weeks in connection with a government job quota system. The opposing political groups in the country led by the incumbent Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina accused these groups of instigating violence. The ban was put in place under an anti-terrorism law by the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Jamaat-e-Islami Chief later on declared the ban unconstitutional while at the same time denying his party involvement in the violence but instead claimed that government itself carried out massacres against the protesters who were university students.
