"Interim government Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus has called upon the nation
for its support to build a new Bangladesh, emphasizing that the government will
seize the opportunity to create a new country—one that was won through the
sacrifices of students who gave their lives during a mass uprising that led to
the fall of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s regime.
“We must ensure that we do not miss this chance to build a new Bangladesh due
to our differences. If we lose this opportunity now, we will be defeated as a
nation. To the martyrs, the injured and the living students, we pledge that we
will not let this achievement go to waste,” Dr Yunus said during his address to
the nation on Sunday evening.
Regarding the next general election, Nobel laureate Dr Yunus said the timing of
the election was a political decision that must be determined through political
discussions.
The interim government, led by Yunus, officially began its work on August 8.
Addressing the matter of his government’s tenure, Yunus said the people would
decide when it left.
“We were initially invited by the students… The general populace supported our
appointment. We will continually remind everyone that our departure will occur
when they say so.”
On the topic of elections, the chief adviser added that the Election Commission
would be reformed as part of the government’s broader reforms.
Yunus also urged the public to offer suggestions on the tasks the interim
government should focus on during its tenure. “Through such discussions, we
will gain direction. However, the final decision is a political one, and
political decisions will come from political discussions. Without this
guidance, we cannot advance firmly in negotiations with donor agencies and
international organizations. I assure you that we will not seek an extension
from our side.”
In his 25-minute address, he outlined his government’s sector-wise action plan
to rebuild a respected and prosperous Bangladesh.
This was his second speech to the nation since assuming the role of chief
adviser. Unlike his brief, introductory first speech, this address provided
more detailed insights into the country’s sector-wise conditions.
He also condemned the previous dictatorial regime for destroying the nation’s
systems and embedding corruption across all sectors."
