Political dialogue
Most of the non-resident Bangladeshis remain very much concerned about the rapidly shifting twists and turns in the political arena of the country. However, there is a consensus that the advisers in the current caretaker government and the team in the reconstituted Election Commission are quite well-meaning personalities, who have the background, commitment and foresight to steer the country out of the crisis.
The roadmap for elections, already declared, is certainly a welcome development; but as a way forward in the meantime it may be worthwhile to widen the proposed dialogue with the political parties in terms of both scope and space so that the core issues of electoral reforms as well as practical problems of governance may be addressed with an open mind. The suggestion in this regard from the acting Awami League president should be taken positively.
Meanwhile, the country's academia and the learners should be enabled to return to their campuses at the earliest, before it is too late and the regime's intention is misperceived nationally as well as internationally.
