Bangladesh New: There are indications of some big game taking place in Bangladesh, which is going through a period of severe instability and anarchy. These things are not being said just like that. In fact, former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina has been repeatedly alleging that fundamentalist forces and some foreign powers conspired against her and she was ousted from power.
He is the current leader of Bangladesh Chief Advisor Mohammad YunusBut she has been directly accused of instigating violence. Earlier, this allegation of Sheikh Hasina did not seem to have much substance because she has been a staunch opponent of Mohammad Yunus. But, there has been a new twist in this whole matter. In fact, a senior leader of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), a staunch opponent of Sheikh Hasina, has said that the attack near the residence of the Indian Deputy High Commissioner in Chittagong and the subsequent violent demonstration in Dhaka is a clear example of mobocracy.
Senior leader and former Commerce Minister Amir Khasru Mahmood Chaudhary said this in an exclusive interview given to News18. His statement completely matches with what Sheikh Hasina said. He said that this violence and demonstrations are a sign of complete breakdown of law and order in Bangladesh. Chaudhary held a senior position in Khaleda Zia’s cabinet and is now a member of the BNP’s Standing Committee. He told that Khaleda Zia is being affected by the treatment. She will take the final decision on the selection of candidates for the upcoming elections and the proposed Prime Ministerial candidate.
Interim government completely failed – BNP
Chaudhary led by Mohammad Yunus interim governmentWas declared ‘failed’. He alleged that this government is responsible for allowing organized mobs to dominate the streets. The country is moving towards instability. He said that when diplomatic missions are the targets of violence, it sends a dangerous signal not only domestically but also to the international community.
Referring to other related demonstrations, he said that these are not just isolated incidents. These are well-planned efforts to destabilize the country and disrupt the democratic and electoral process by creating fear and anarchy. He said that voters are excited, anarchy prevails. Chaudhary also said that despite prolonged political uncertainty, citizens across the country, especially young voters, are eager to exercise their democratic rights.
Violence is happening to postpone elections
People are ready to vote, they are just waiting for the elections. Candidates are working in their constituencies. People waited for almost decades to cast their votes. They could not exercise their voting rights in the last 3-4 elections. There is a clear sense of ownership among the people. Yet, instead of ensuring stability and order, the interim government is ruling anarchy. He also said that repeated failure to maintain law and order would undermine public confidence and threaten democratic institutions.
According to him, mob violence and uncontrolled demonstrations are being used as a tool to disrupt the elections and delay the return of the elected government. Chaudhary stressed that he wanted to avoid making inflammatory remarks or commenting on forums, but placed the responsibility squarely on the current government.
He said that this is not democracy. This is mobocracy. As Bangladesh approaches a critical political juncture, Choudhary’s comments reflect concerns that unless firm action is taken to restore law and order, instability could deepen and the democratic process itself could be jeopardized. His words are being seen as a serious warning amid the ongoing political and social instability in Bangladesh.
