Only a nat’l unity govt best way forward : Post July government

The forthcoming election in Bangladesh is poised to be a significant challenge for the ousted dictator, Hasina, and her associates, who have been accused Dr Mohammad Yunus’s government of “repressing” the true oppressors that have ruled Bangladesh with an iron fist for the past 16 years. This situation raises concerns about the current political landscape in Bangladesh, especially with the resurgence of fascists supported by the neighbouring country’s hostile regime, which has justified all the crimes committed over the last 16 years. Many believe that Hasina has established strong connections with individuals from various backgrounds in the country where she currently resides. It is now crucial to form a large coalition against the former fascists to establish common ground among the existing political forces. During the election, Jamaat-e-Islami has allied with the NCP, a party led by the youth who played a pivotal role in the July revolution. The BNP has also echoed the same sentiments as expressed during July, and no significant clashes have been observed on the front lines. However, the election is likely to create some divisions in the minds of the grassroots population as potential competitors emerge, making it essential for all factions to recognise the repercussions of internal conflicts and divisions. It is hoped that following the election, a new government will be established based on national consensus for the greater good of the country.
