DHAKA:  , Bangladesh’s interim leader has refused to give a timeframe for elections following the ouster of his autocratic predecessor, saying in an interview published on Tuesday ( Oct 8 ) that reforms are needed before polls.
Nobel Peace Prize success Muhammad Yunus was appointed the country’s” general assistant” after the student-led revolt that toppled ex-premier Sheikh Hasina in August.
The 84-year-old lending trailblazer is helming a momentary administration, to address what he has called the “extremely hard” challenge of restoring political institutions.
” None of us are aiming at staying for a continuous day”, Yunus said of his caretaker government, in an interview published by the Prothom Alo paper.
” Measures are pivotal”, he added. ” If you say, hold the vote, we are ready to carry the vote. However, holding the election second would be incorrect.
Hasina’s 15-year law saw common human rights abuses, including the mass incarceration and extrajudicial killings of her political opponents.
In the weeks leading up to her resignation, more than 600 people died, according to a primary UN report, which stated the figure was probably an overlook.
Her state was even accused of politicizing authorities and the civil service, as well as holding fractious votes in an effort to undermine democratic controls on its authority.
Yunus claimed that he had inherited a” absolutely broken down” system of public administration that needed to be completely overhauled to stop a resumption of monarchy.
Redesigns mean that we wo n’t tolerate repeating the events that occurred in the past, he continued.
