[vinnomot] Mortgaged caretaker government in Bangladesh

Dear Readers,

The unprecedented anti-graft crackdown by military-led caretaker government is gradually losing impetuous due to numerous complexities and difficulties including frequent shift in priorities.CTG also started narrowing down its focus of attention as the preparation for holding the stalled 9th parliamentary election is gaining momentum. Although the unprecedented drive succeeded in creating an impression that no one is above or beyond the reach of law, some questions were, however, raised about different issues including discrimination in targeting corruption suspects, preparing quality graft cases, and CTG's role in dealing with serious crimes. Many anti-graft drive operators became demoralised and moved away from the initial motivation due to lengthy investigation process, legal complexities and wrangling in higher courts.

The qualities of the present caretaker government  - authority, fortitude, heroism - sound like the qualities of an autocrat. At this time, Bangladesh needs a leader with the humility to admit that the country is on the wrong course. Institution after institution failed Bangladesh -- the presidency, caretaker government and the judiciary. They all endorsed a war to rid Bangladesh of what it did not have. Now, though, that gullibility is being matched by reform critics who are so hyped on their own sanctimony that they will obliterate distinctions, punishing their friends for apostasy and, by so doing, aiding their enemies. If that's going to be the case, then Bangladesh is a war its critics will lose twice -- once because they couldn't stop it and once more at the polls and handing over power to elected public representative and there is a chance for an evil force may take ruling power and make the caretaker government concept a guilty and orphaned in future.
