Stop violence and ease public anxiety

In recent days, some unwanted incidents have occurred across the country, which no one would have desired. We have witnessed the extreme arrogance of mob justice throughout the nation. There have been attacks, vandalism, and arson on various establishments and houses for three consecutive days in different districts, including the Dhanmondi 32 area. These events have stirred up anxiety, fear, and concern among the people. In response to the situation, the Chief Adviser of the interim government, Professor Muhammad Yunus, has had to issue three statements within two days. Similarly, the Adviser to the interim government, Mahfuz Alam, called for public calm and urged the government to be allowed to do its work, sharing his message on social media late Thursday night. However, the situation has not been fully brought under control.

The Awami League government’s reckless misuse and wastage of public resources generated significant public anger. This anger eventually manifested in the mass uprising.

As time passes, the public's doubts about the reforms continue to grow more obscure. Many people still have no clear idea about what reforms will take place and when. While reports from four reform commissions have been submitted to the Chief Adviser, they lack a clear outline, and some of the recommendations have already sparked criticism.
