The process to ban Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir, is underway, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said on Wednesday evening.
The announcement could be made at any time, he said without specifying the timing of the ban.
He made the remarks while briefing reporters at the Secretariat.
On Monday, the ruling Awami League-led 14-party alliance unanimously agreed on banning Jamaat-e-Islami and its student wing for their alleged involvement in anti-state activities.
The party faces its second ban in over 50 years after its initial prohibition in 1972 for 'misusing religion for political purposes.'
