The Supreme Court has ordered the

restoration of the political registration of Jamaat-e-Islami, signaling a major change in the country's political map. After more than a decade, the party is now once again recognized as an approved party by the Election Commission.

Jamaat's registration: A new turn in Bangladeshi politics
The reinstatement of Jamaat-e-Islami's registration has given the party its full right to participate in national elections. The High Court had cancelled the party's registration in 2013 through an order, but after a long legal battle, the Supreme Court has now overturned that order. The court has ordered the Election Commission to take necessary legal action. The ruling has created a huge stir both domestically and internationally.

While this incident is significant

for the country's democratic practices, it also indicates that the path to political participation may now be more open than ever. The ruling comes at a time when the country is entering a period of recent political change and popular uprising.

Widespread reaction in the international press
The news of Jamaat's registration being restored has been widely reported in various international media outlets. Turkey's Anadolu Agency headlined, "Supreme Court Restores Jamaat-e-Islami's Registration in Bangladesh." According to them, this is a historic decision after a long legal battle.

Pakistan's Dawn wrote, "Bangladesh's highest court has reinstated the registration of Jamaat-e-Islami." The Dawn report further said that the petition was accepted after Sheikh Hasina's government left power and the court ruled in favor of Jamaat.

Middle East-based Arab News headlined,

“Bangladesh’s highest court brings back the largest Islamic party.” The report said that the path to Jamaat’s return to politics has been opened after the fall of the Awami League.

India's NDTV headlined, "Bangladesh Supreme Court brings back banned Jamaat-e-Islami party." They reported that the party, which had been out of the elections for more than a decade, is returning to the electoral arena.
