Why this controversy?
The moment Army Chief Lt. General Moeen U Ahmed handed over charge to his successor, we have seen some protests and rallies against this ex army chief under the banner of some student organizations. On the same day, we have also seen some accusations being raised by BNP's lawmaker Moudud Ahmed and Awami League lawmaker Suranjit Sengupta against general Moeen. It is pathetic that the person who is considered as the architect of the 1\11 changeover and the driving force behind the last caretaker government is now in hot water. I won't say that whatever actions the past caretaker government, Anti Corruption Commission took were justified, but I must say that they tried their level best to brought discipline and accountability in every sector which was missing during the regime of our previous governments. Holding a free and fair national election was the prime task of the last caretaker government and they were able to do it without any controversy. So now the unnecessary questions and controversy which some vested quarters are trying to create against the actions of the army backed past caretaker government are, I think, ill motivated, ill conceived and will further create more problems than solutions. If we do not give validity to the actions of the past government than the election under its regime will also come under question. This government has many more tasks in hand like solving the nagging power crises, improving the law and order situation, trial of the war criminals etc and therefore it will be wrong from it's part to dwell on the past caretaker government's actions because it will only create more controversy and might even create anarchy in the country as well. Can we afford it now? It is the time to move on in order to build the most cherished dream of digital Bangladesh and hence I think the government should not allow any quarter to create controversy on this sensitive issue.
