Jamaat-e-Islami, a significant opposition party with millions of followers was prohibited from running for office in 2013 after high court judges determined that its charter contradicted the country's secular constitution, which is predominantly Muslim. Bangladesh's upcoming general elections are scheduled on January 7. Chief Justice Obaidul Hassan led a five-member Supreme Court Appellate Division bench that issued the verdict. The primary attorney for Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami failed to show up in court citing "personal problems," and his earlier motion to postpone the case for six weeks was also denied. Jamaat has filed a case with the Supreme Court to contest the judgment in 2014 and 2018, when they were barred from taking part in elections. Ten years ago, the High Court's ruling nullified the party's Election Commission registration, prohibiting it from running for office or using party emblems. However, it did not forbid it from taking involved in politics. In a two-day nationwide walkout that got underway on Sunday, Jamaat joined the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). In order for a neutral government to conduct elections in Bangladesh before the January 7 election, the opposition, which includes the BNP, Jamaat, and other minor parties, has asked that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resign from office. Why Jamaat-e-Islami ban? For many years, the opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party, led by former prime minister Khaleda Zia, has been Hasina's fiercest adversary. Jamaat-e-Islami has been an important ally of this party. Zia, the nation's leader from 2001 to 2006, shared power with the Islamist party. Following her rise to office in 2009, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's administration attempted to prosecute the leading figures of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami for their roles in war crimes and genocide committed during the nation's independence struggle. Since 2013, some have received life sentences or been executed. Bangladesh ...
