The government is ready to counter any possible subversive activities by the banned group Jamaat-Shibir, said Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal today (Aug 1).

He was talking to reporters in the wake of announcing Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, its student wing Chhatra Shibir and all front and associate bodies as banned entities.

Earlier in the day, the Ministry of Home Affairs issued a gazette notification this afternoon banning the politics of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Islami Chhatra Shibir for their direct and indirect involvement in anti-state subversive activities.

The government announced Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Islami Chhatra Shibir and their all affiliate bodies as banned organisations in light of the section 18(1) of the Anti-Terrorism Act 2009, according to the gazette.

From now on, Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami, Islami Chhatra Shibir, and their all affiliate bodies have been enlisted as banned entities.
