Today marks one month since the interim government was formed in Bangladesh after Sheikh Hasina left the country. After mass uprising and unrest, the interim government has changed the entire machinery of the country within a month. The situation in the capital Dhaka had become normal since the formation of the interim government.
Meanwhile, the hardline Jamaat-e-Islami party, a supporter of the Yunus government, has raised its voice for changing Bangladesh’s national anthem ‘Amar Sonar Bangla’ written by Rabindranath Tagore. However, Khalid Hussain, the Minister of Religious Affairs in the interim government, has refused to change the national anthem.
However, experts say that the interim government has formed a committee of retired army officers to change the constitution. The army-backed interim government will eliminate the symbols associated with Bangladesh’s freedom struggle in the coming days. The statue of Banga Bandhu Mujibur Rahman has been demolished in the student movement. In such a situation, there should be no surprise in changing the national anthem.
From ministries to universities, extremists dominate The new government removed all the top officials appointed by former PM Sheikh Hasina. Chief Justice, Bangladesh Bank Governor, IGP RAB DG, BGB DG, DMP Commissioner, Attorney General, 30 secretaries of various ministries were changed.
Apart from this, Bangladesh ambassadors in many countries have either been recalled or dismissed. New appointments have been made to VCs, treasurers and registrars of more than 50 universities, 147 school and college principals, UGC chief.
BNP General Secretary Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir also believes that so far this government is doing a good job. We will support this government to restore democracy. But we will not compromise on our fight for democracy. We want to see national elections as soon as possible.
Garment industry gained momentum Most of the garment industry units spread across many cities including Dhaka have become active again. About 85% of the workers in the garment industry are women. The garment industry accounts for 80% of Bangladesh’s total exports. Not a single garment factory caught fire during the student movement.
Inclination will increase towards America The new government has not revealed its cards on foreign policy, but it is clear that they will be in favor of America. The new government will now lean towards Pakistan. Relations with China will remain. India will be on the priority list, but Hasina is a subject of controversy.
