The
Regime Change in Bangladesh:
The
Challenges Ahead
The regime change happened in Bangladesh
due to the violent outcome triggered by the student unrest that boiled up into
mass upheaval and a bloody conflict with the state forces, causing heavy loss
of lives, has opened up a new scenario in that country. As the military forces
chose not to back Sheik Hasina's government, she resigned and fled the country.
An interim government has come to office
under Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2006 for founding the
Grameen Bank and pioneering the concepts of microcredit and microfinance, the
winner of the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom and the winner of the
United States Congressional Gold Medal. The interim government has offered to
restore order amidst disturbing news coming in about murders of Awami league
leaders including the relatives of the resigned prime minister, looting and arson.
Earliest possible free and fair elections
must be done to restore democracy and the reinstatement of the parliament. Only
an all encompassing alternative that remedies the neo-classical economic path
and the trajectory of the neo-liberal rule can ensure the future of Bangladesh
and the prosperity of the people.
The greatest threat to this positive
process comes from the US led imperialist camp and its domestic lackeys
including the major reactionary force such as the Jamaat-e-Islami. Only the
people's vigilance and the assertion of an articulate anti-imperialist, secular and democratic
movement can fulfil the said goal.
