A legal notice has been served demanding the ban of Jatiya Party’s political activities, accusing the party of perpetuating military rule, engaging in corruption, and undermining democracy.
Supreme Court lawyer Salah Uddin Regan issued the notice Sunday on behalf of NCP activist Hossain Mohammad Anwar, naming the Election Commission and other authorities as respondents.
The notice warns that if no action is taken within three days, a writ petition will be filed with the High Court. It alleges Jatiya Party has repeatedly corrupted Bangladesh’s political process since its inception and turned elections into farces.
The move follows earlier appeals submitted to the Election Commission seeking the party’s disqualification from politics in the interest of protecting the nation’s democratic future.
