Pertinent points
What is the difference between this present caretaker government and our previous so called democratically elected governments? Answer: No difference. They are all the same. This government is simply making blunders when it comes to making crucial decisions. Who is running this nation, anyway? Where are we heading ? Will we be labelled as a failed nation again? I do not think there is anyone who could answer these questions properly. We know that reform in our police department is a must because we are still relying on an outdated regulatory framework dating back to 1861. Presently, our police operate under a law promulgated 147 year ago. Since the independence of Bangladesh, nothing has been done to change the laws. We have always seen that our political parties, while in power, use police as a force against the rival parties. We reprove the home ministry's action in delaying the reform. But we are sanguine that this reform will be implemented and people will have faith in the police force. The IGP wanted a change in the existing system. And it should have been welcomed by the caretaker government.
