Many pro-Liberation War parties and organisations, including the Ganajagaran Mancha, have been demanding that the Jamaat be banned. The Supreme Court has convicted seven top leaders of the Jamaat-e-Islami as of now with five of them already hanged. A court verdict has termed Jamaat-e-Islami a ‘criminal party’ saying those against the independence of the country should not hold office in any organisation in the country. It seems we can’t do anything until the court gives its verdict in the case,” Hasina replied. “I hope if the court verdict comes very soon, then Jamaat will be banned as a party,” she added.
