Jamaat banned to crush student-people revolution: Asif  Nazrul

Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul has  said the ousted Awami League (AL) government did not ban Jamaat-e-Islami from any policy decision but wanted to use it as a ploy to brutally crush the student-people revolution.

The adviser made the comment while talking to newsmen at the ministry on Wednesday.

"The narrative that they gave to ban Jamaat mentioning it as a terrorist organization was not true. The Ministry of Home Affairs has scrutinized that they (AL) had termed Jamaat-BNP as terrorist and militant organizations and suddenly published the gazette, as part of their narrative, declaring Jamaat as a terrorist organization, he said.

The law adviser said, "We cannot become a part of their false narrative, where the student-people revolution was termed as terrorist activities. They put all the blame for that on the shoulder of a party and banned it."
