Bold decision!
Recently, the Awami League President Sheikh Hasina has been sworn in as the new prime minister. Thirty-one others have been inducted into her council of ministers. We have seen that the cabinet comprises 23 ministers and eight state ministers. Of them, only AMA Muhith, Matia Chowdhury, AK Khandaker, Syed Ashraful Islam, Syed Abul Hossain and Dipankar Talukder have previous experience. Three came on technocrat quota. Many senior leaders including presidium members Amir Hossain Amu, Abdur Razzak, Tofail Ahmed, Abdul Jalil, Suranjit Sengupta, Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, Saber Hossain Chowdhury, and Asaduzzaman Noor were left out. Workers Party President Menon and Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal President Inu were not also included though they were widely expected to be ministers.
Most of the people consider it a very bold and challenging decision by the new prime minister. Most of the cabinet members are not well experienced to run the administration. But a new era has been started with the appointment of this cabinet. We wish the new ministers a grand success.
