Bangladesh's interim government, under the leadership of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has officially lifted the ban on the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami party.
This significant political move reverses the decision made by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who had imposed the ban amid accusations of the party's involvement in terrorism and constitutional violations against secularism. The lifting of the ban comes after Sheikh Hasina was ousted from power following nationwide protests against her rule. Jamaat-e-Islami, known as the country's largest Islamist party, had been barred from participating in elections since 2013 due to these allegations.
The Yunus-led government's decision marks a pivotal change in Bangladesh's political landscape, emphasizing a shift towards inclusivity and reevaluation of previous government's policies.
