Calling for elections now is shameful

It is utterly outrageous, unpatriotic, shameful and ridiculous that the Jatiyatabadi Sangskritik Dal should be calling for the Government of Nobel Laureate Prof. Muhammad Yunus “to do the basic reforms of the state needed to hold free and fair election and leave the details to be decided by the next elected government”.

It is utterly disgraceful and they ought to be ashamed of themselves. The Interim Government is doing a fantastic job at weeding out the crooks and thieves who have shamelessly stolen from the people of Bangladesh, have starved the people, created misery, and sucked the nation dry to satisfy their hunger for personal greed. And they have only started.

The only people, in my opinion, who want to stop the investigations into corruption are those who are involved and the Prof. Muhammad Yunus investigator are getting too close to uncovering and revealing who they are.

There should be no elections until Bangladesh is entirely clean of corruption and death penalty laws are put in place to prevent the scum of society to deter them from attempting it again.

Professor Yunus and the Anti-discrimination Student Movement members are doing a remarkable job and should be helped, not hindered.

People did not give their lives in July-August just for “more of the same” to replace what they died for.

Go ahead, Professor Yunus with your great work, continue with your house cleaning, and do not allow anyone to deter you from completing your noble tasks to benefit Bangladesh. The people are 100% with you.
