Discussions about the timing of the national elections have reached a peak in Bangladesh, especially due to the ongoing pressure between the government and the opposition. Despite receiving assurances of elections by December, BNP is unable to trust it. They want to continue their programs and put pressure on the government. However, Jamaat-e-Islami, standing in a different position from this situation, now does not want to create any kind of pressure before the elections.
A meeting was held with the BNP's chief advisor on Monday, where they received assurances from the government about elections by December. Although the government has made various statements about the timing of the elections, now they have stated that preparations will be made by December. However, political analysts say that there is pressure behind this assurance by the government, and BNP's lack of confidence is sharply emerging.
Analyst Mohiuddin Ahmed believes, "Even if minimal reforms are made for the elections, organizing elections by December may be difficult." In addition, the opposition parties' agitation has also increased in the country, especially the BNP's continuous programs are putting pressure on the government.
In such a situation, in the last few days, there have been attacks and vandalism on the houses and establishments of Awami League leaders in different places, which has come as a new challenge for the government. Questions have been raised about the government's failure to control the law and order situation. After all these incidents, the government has launched a special operation 'Operation Devil Hunt', although the opposition parties feel that this is just an attempt to save the government's face.
In such a situation, the BNP and its allied parties are seeking a specific roadmap from the government for the preparation of the elections. BNP leader Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said, "It is possible to solve the country's crises when an elected government comes." Although they are waiting for the government's assurance, their doubts have not yet disappeared, so they want to continue the agitation on the ground.
In this context of discussions with the government about the timing of the elections and increasing pressure, the current political situation has become tense, and questions are being raised about the future of the country.
