Re: Bangladesh declares Jamaat-i-Islami illegal
Well, no. The current ruling party has never been supported by JI, while the opposition has. The current government is executing a power grab. It is fanning the flames of the 71 conflict for political gain.
I mean, it’s a tad late now…JI is a rather large organization that is a part of the body politic of Bangladesh. What next? Shall Pakistan declare Bangladesh a break-away province? It’s all silly…
Pratically, it just means JI will disband, and reform under a different name. If, however, the ban will be extended to any religious party (and that seems to be the basis of the ban)…then your observation will be negated, and it *woud *be about religious orientation. Time will tell, though.
