CTG's job
The CTG's problems seem to mount every day as the latest issue of concern for the incumbent government was the countrywide student protests. These students, including the professors and lecturers of respective universities, were demanding withdrawal of the state of emergency. In addition, the present caretaker government also has to bear the brunt of floods because as the floods die down, the already high-prices of daily essentials will further skyrocket due to the adverse supply situation which is likely to continue. Hence the public's agitation will further rise as prices of essentials will continue to show an upward trend and eventually criticism of the CTG will also rise. The rehabilitation of these homeless flood-affected people needs proper attention as the govt. has to rebuild their destroyed homes. To make matters worse, uncertainty looms over the future of the elections as ban on indoor politics has not been lifted yet. The closure of jute mills is another negative point of the CTG as the workers of these mills are yet to receive their arrear wages and their future look bleak. Eventually, conditions such as these can provoke social unrest. Also the state of emergency has caused decline in business and FDIs might reduce as political uncertainty can result in MNCs refusing to invest in Bangladesh. So, gradually people's faith in the CTG seems to be fading.
I, too, was very confident that this government would help to revive our country from the pathetic state prevailing in the last three decades. But although they deserve praise for the crusade against corruption and making the ACC more transparent, the limitations of the government are now, it seems, outweighing its positive points.
Therefore, we hope that the CTG will not let us down and go by their commitment to the people.
Best of luck!
