The government is considering outlawing the Hizb-ut Tawhid soon for its ‘militant activities’.
A member of the anti-militancy panel said they would recommend a ban on the outfit in their next meeting.
Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Additional Director General Ziaul Ahsan described the organisation’s activities as subversive.
“We’ll recommend a ban on Hizb-ut Tawhid,” he told bdnews24.com.
The outfit is currently blacklisted.
The militancy prevention committee will hold its first meeting in a year on Wednesday at the home ministry.
It was formed on Apr 20, 2009 to keep an eye on militancy in Bangladesh and decide on actions. The Hizb-ut Tahrir was outlawed on Oct 22, the same year.
Earlier, the Shahadat-e-Al Hikma had been banned in 2003. Two years later, Jamaa’tul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Harkat-ul Jihad Al Islami Bangladesh (HUJI), and Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB) were also outlawed.
Committee member and religious affairs ministry Secretary Chowdhury Md Babul Hasan told bdnews24.com that they were running an anti-militancy campaign.
