In order to earn the moral authority this caretaker government must first prove that its members are a bunch of honest people and they are dedicated to getting rid of corruption in our society. They have to earn people's trust by their actions which must be ethical, impartial and transparent. Let's take litmus tests to find out if they are really trustworthy and have earned the moral authority:

1. Are they transparent in their actions? I am afraid not. Notice their recent activities in sending Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina to exile. One has to be blind and deaf to believe that they did not put tremendous pressure on Khaleda Zia to leave the country and did not try their best to stop Sheikh Hasina from returning to Bangladesh. I will not argue whether their decision regarding sending the former prime ministers to exile was good or bad. My question is why their action is not transparent.

2. Recently, many people were sent to jail for not being able to submit their correct wealth statements. These people are punished because they did not pay the required amount of income taxes and they have acquired wealth by illegal means. In this regard, I request all members of our caretaker government to submit their wealth statements and prove that they are clean. If they pass the litmus test, only then they will have the moral authority to pursue the goal they have set for the government.
