We must build a beautiful Bangladesh overcoming all crises
It has been nine full months since the student-public uprising, and now calculations are being made regarding the gap between people’s expectations and what has been achieved. This is because the interim government’s failure to control commodity prices and the law-and-order situation has disappointed the general public. However, after the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s continuous fifteen and a half years of rule, a desire for change in socio-economic and political aspects had emerged. People from all parties and opinions took to the streets responding to the anti-discrimination student movement; under pressure from this movement, the autocratic regime fell on August 5. Within three days of the student-public uprising, an interim government led by Professor Muhammad Yunus was formed, which also promised change. But in terms of everyday life, two major problems—commodity prices and law and order—have drawn allegations of failure against the interim government, even from the anti-discrimination student movement itself.
