Land of controversy

It is very unfortunate that our country is turning into a land of controversy. The EU has passed a resolution on Bangladesh politics, which will ultimately end up in controversy. Separation of judiciary from executive is also now delayed. Killings of opposition politicians are under trial and God knows when we will see the final judgement and its execution.

Reform in Caretaker Government system seems to be a tug of war. Not to say about the emergence of fundamentalism, relations with Neighbour, the ACC episode, dearth of right personality to head constitutional positions likes EC, ombudsman etc.

The capacity of the government to handle existing contentious political issues or otherwise seems to be very efficient. Management by crisis seems to be the strategy.

However, I would point out that the government is primarily responsible to guide the nation as per its political mandate received during the last election.
