Major (retd.) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, a member of the BNP Standing Committee, has commented that many of the advisors in the interim government want to remain in power for life. He said, this government was formed by public opinion, by the will of the people. But as the days go by, we are slowly getting frustrated! Dr. Muhammad Yunus is the country’s hero, his name is worldwide. The mirror of Bangladesh abroad, we could not have found a more qualified person than him at this moment. He doesn’t even want to be in power. He was offered earlier too, didn’t stay. Still, he doesn’t seem to be enjoying himself very much. But I have to say one thing, his team selection is not right. Many of those he took with him wanted to stay in power for life. Maybe you can’t express it, but it feels like it.
He said these things at the discussion meeting titled ‘Mass Uprising Public Aspirations: Recommendations for State Repair’ organized by Bangladesh Labor Party at National Press Club on Tuesday.
Criticizing the government, Hafiz Uddin Ahmed said that Professor Yunus has assigned four or five ministries to each advisor. Especially since they have no experience. He has to think about this. He appointed the good ones from among the non-political people. If necessary, take more people from students who have protested against discrimination. But they have played in the Awami League team in the past, we don’t want to see them in the cabinet.
Asked how much time it would take for the reforms, Major Hafeez said that the notification of the six commissions that had been made took more than six days, which should not have taken more than two days. Slowly common people are getting frustrated. Fallen energy wants to come back. Even Ansar forces want to queue, such a weak government.
Pointing out that the main task of the interim government is to transfer power to an elected government, he said that the government talks a lot, but one thing is not heard from their mouths that when the elections will be held. When will the election commission be formed? Election Commission should be formed with non-political and knowledgeable people. If the law needs to be changed by ordinance, it can be done quickly.
Stating that Awami League has no right to do politics anymore, he said, they have done terrible damage to the country. The group formed a one-party bank.
