Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul today 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 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 while talking to newsmen at the ministry today.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.””We cannot become part of any unfair narrative of a party, which got discarded and defeated in the student-people uprising. Awami League had banned Jamaat-e-Islami at a particular time with a particular goal. Jamaat had pleaded to withdraw the ban and following that the Home Ministry gave its decision,” he added.
