Law Minister Anisul Huq on Thursday hoped that the gazette notification banning Jamaat-e-Islami and all its front organizations will be published shortly.

"I think the Home Ministry will publish the gazette notification in this regard shortly. The government took the decision to ban Jamaat-e-Islami, Islami Chhatra Shibir and all their front organizations in line with section 18/1 of the Anti Terrorism Act," he said while talking to reporters at the ministry.

"They sent the matter to the legislative division of Law Ministry this morning (Thursday) and we sent it back to Home Ministry after vetting," Anisul added.

Anisul Huq said country's law and order situation will improve if Jamaat and Shibir get banned.
