What a drama!! Bangladeshis are all amazed to experience the process that the present caretaker government has followed to overturn the poor image of the past BNP government, characterised by highest level of corruption, worst law and order and human right records, politicisation of all institutions including the judiciary and what not….
The caretaker government was formed to save the country by taking people on board, most of whom were the beneficiaries of the BNP government. How come then these people claim that they would save the country from corrupt people when they themselves were active players of that government? Now, things are becoming clearer as to what their purpose was.
If we take the comment of the acting general secretary of the Awami League, the government and their invisible power has certainly lost its credibility by freeing the greatest corrupt on the earth and trying to re-establish its former bosses. Was it the goal that you came with to achieve?? Certainly it was… If we analyse a few of the activities of government we would have no other options but to conclude this. For example, in the name of corruption, Sheikh Hasina was first arrested when people knew how serious the corruption charges were against Khaleda Zia. In the process of arrest and her presentation at the court, Sheikh Hasina was ruthlessly insulted while the highest level of respect and loyalty was shown to Khaleda Zia. Sheikh Hasina was barred from seeing her relatives in the special jail while Khaleda Zia was allowed to even conduct a political meeting in the jail! This is called respect and sympathy to the former as well as present (!) bosses. The government arrested at least one leader of the Awami League when they had arrested one corrupt MP/minister of the BNP. In the process of releasing the leaders, all the high-profile corrupt ministers and leaders of the BNP got the priority in getting bail. We have also experienced how the administration openly tried to snatch the victory of the AL backed candidate in Barisal city corporation election. The government's loyalty to the BNP was also demonstrated by the recent public apology of the CEC and a few advisers' serious effort to free Khaleda Zia and her sons.
Like most Bangladeshis, I hate to see that overturning the poor image of the past BNP-Jammat government was the sole purpose of the caretaker government. They were there to save the corrupt and have done everything to give them a clean bill so that they and their bosses never lose power. Based on all of our analysis, we may surely conclude that the caretaker government is another BNP government in disguise!
