Sajib Wazed Joy said, "The matter of returning to the country is depending on Sheikh Hasina. But right now I want to keep the people of my party safe and for that I want to raise international awareness about the brutality that this Yunus government is perpetrating on them.
In the interview, he said, 'I am happy with the time frame mentioned by the army chief regarding elections within 18 months. Although we expected earlier elections. At the same time, I want to warn that real reform and elections are impossible without Awami League.
Sheikh Hasina's former advisor told Reuters, 'I am happy to know that there is at least an expected deadline now. But we have seen dramas before where an unconstitutional, unelected government promises reforms and then things get worse.'
n an interview given to Reuters yesterday, Chief of Army Staff General Waqar-uz-Zaman said, "He will support the interim government under any circumstances so that elections can be held within the next 18 months."
An interim government was formed in the country after Hasina resigned and fled amid the popular uprising. After the interim government took office last August, Bangladesh's two main political parties, BNP and Awami League, called for elections to be held within three months.
Professor Dr. The interim government under the leadership of Muhammad Yunus is continuing to work on the overall reform of the country. However, no specific date has been given as to when the elections could be held.
The Office of the Chief Adviser said that after receiving the recommendations of the six reform committees, discussions with political parties would be held and a date for the vote would be announced if consensus on the reforms was reached and voter lists drawn up, Reuters reported.
