When and how will elections be held in Bangladesh? Mohammad Yunus told the roadmap ahead

On 25 August, Chief Advisor of the Interim Government of Bangladesh Mohammad Yunus addressed the nation for the second time after assuming the reins of the country. During this, he criticized the previous government and said that the ousted Prime Minister destroyed every institution of the country. The economy and education system were crippled. The voice of the people was suppressed by threats and torture. Along with this, he said in his speech that now there will be fair elections in Bangladesh.

Yunus said that free, fair, and participatory elections will be held after necessary reforms in many areas. He urged the people to be patient so that the major challenges could be resolved gradually. Addressing the public, Yunus said that after the completion of necessary reforms in the administration, judiciary, election commission, and electoral system, law and order, and information flow systems, a free, fair election will be held to make the massive protests of students and people successful.

Along with this, he also said that his interim government will strengthen local government institutions and ensure decentralization to strengthen democracy. Our goal will be to start a political system. He took charge on 8 August after Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was removed from the post. During this time there was a massive student movement, due to which he had to leave the country.

when will the term end

Although Yunus did not give any time limit for the tenure of his interim government in his 26-minute speech, he also admitted that everyone is interested in knowing when our government will go. He said that the answer to this is with you as to when you will bid us farewell. None of us is going to rule the country. We are happy with our work. We took charge of the call of the students during the national crisis. Yunus said that his government will put in all its efforts to fulfill the responsibility entrusted to them. Because people from all sections have welcomed his government.

Said this to the public

Yunus said that his government believes in national unity and for this reason, he has appointed a special assistant as an advisor whose responsibility is to develop national unity. He urged the people to avoid the trend of entering institutions, threatening a person, attacking people on the court premises, and pre-empting any kind of hearing. You have to come out of such incidents. These incidents will spoil the glory of the successful struggle. Yunus said that justice would be done for all the heinous crimes of the dictator government, such as murder, and kidnapping. All those involved in these crimes will be prosecuted. He urged the people to be patient.
