One-eleven in retrospect
Like many, I welcomed the change on January 11, 2007. In spite of lot of criticisms, I don't repent my support. One-eleven was not a political adventure of any ambitious army official, rather it was a reality stemming out of the political arrogance of the BNP reflected through unconstitutional moves of the then President Mr. Iajuddin Ahmed. Had there been no such change on that day the country could have remained in a state of constant political agitation. Hawa Bhaban style plundering coupled with complete politicisation of the administration could have put the state in total disarray.
The caretaker government performed well in many fields. But they should not have expanded their agenda so much.
Even then, the nation should thank the CTG and their backers for their timely intervention and for saving the country from complete ruination.
