Bangladesh Interim Government Lifts Ban on Jamaat-e-Islami Party

The caretaker administration found no evidence linking the party to terrorist activities, overturning a decision by former PM Sheikh Hasina.

  • The ban was initially imposed under anti-terrorism laws citing the party's alleged role in violent protests.
  • Former PM Sheikh Hasina fled to India following the protests that led to her resignation.
  • Jamaat-e-Islami has been barred from elections since 2013 due to constitutional conflicts.
  • The party plans to petition the Supreme Court to restore its registration.
  • Political stability remains a challenge for the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus.
