The current interim government of Bangladesh, led by Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus, has stated that implementing the reforms that have been taken in various sectors including politics, economy and administration is not very easy. The organization claims that the skyrocketing expectations of the people are one of the challenges of the interim government.
On the occasion of the 100 days of the interim government, the ICG expressed this opinion on Thursday (November 14) night in a report titled 'A New Era in Bangladesh? The First Hundred Days of Reform'.
The report states that Sheikh Hasina fled the country on August 5 due to the mass uprising of students and the people. Then on August 8, an interim government was formed with Dr. Muhammad Yunus as its chief adviser.
The interim government has already taken initiatives to reform various important institutions of the country including the political, economic, administrative, election commission, and education sectors. However, not all reforms are possible in this short period of time.
The report also said that reforms in important areas should be made visible to the people. Then the people's support can be maintained.
Otherwise, the interim government will fail. And if the interim government fails this time, Bangladesh will return to its previous state. Or if the situation goes out of control, military rule will begin in the country.
Considering all the circumstances, the organization also advised the current interim government of Bangladesh to maintain national unity with other political parties to succeed.
Important reforms should be made and elections should be held with the help of other political parties. Because, as long as this government wants to retain power, the demand for elections will become more intense, this international organization said.
In this case, the ICG sees BNP as a threat due to the absence of Awami League in the political arena because in the past history of the country, both Awami League and BNP have adopted methods to destabilize the country for elections.
