14-party alliance decides to ban politics of Jamaat-Shibir

The ruling Awami League-led 14-party alliance has announced that it will ban Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Chhatra Shibir in the country. 

The decision was taken in a meeting of the alliance chaired by AL President and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at her residence Ganabhaban on Monday.

“For the sake of national interest, the 14-party leaders unanimously agreed to ban politics of Jamaat-Shibir in a bid to eliminate the anti-state element,” Awami League (AL) General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader told reporters emerging from a meeting of 14-party alliance.

Quader said BNP and Jamaat are involved in hatching conspiracy to make the country a failure state through creating anarchies.
