Advisory council fuelling fresh inequality, alleges Rashed Khan
Bangla Press Desk: Gono Odhikar Parishad General Secretary Rashed Khan has criticised the interim government’s advisory council, accusing it of perpetuating inequality while pursuing international recognition. In a Facebook post on Monday, Rashed slammed the decision to include representatives from three political parties in Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus’s ongoing visit to the United Nations General Assembly. According to him, the move was made primarily for the advisers’ own protection rather than necessity. “Interim government advisers have taken three political party representatives to the UN for their own protection. Otherwise, the politicians have no role there. Naturally, Awami League activists will demonstrate, perhaps even heckle or harass the advisers. To counter this, BNP-Jamaat activists have already taken to the streets with banners, while Awami League supporters are also present,” he wrote. He further argued that if no political representatives had accompanied the delegation, opposition activists would not have mobilised abroad. “Whatever the advisers claim, their survival still depends on the backing of political parties,” he added.
Rashed went on to allege that, despite pledges to ensure fairness, the Advisory Council had generated further inequality. “With two BNP representatives and one each from Jamaat and NCP on the UN trip, Jamaat and NCP have objected, demanding parity. If equality is ensured only among themselves, then no other parties are needed. This is how the government and parties talk about building a Bangladesh of equality, dignity and justice,” he remarked. Despite his criticism, Rashed Khan wished the Chief Adviser’s UN mission success. Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus left Dhaka on Sunday night for New York to attend the 80th UN General Assembly, accompanied by six political leaders. His delegation includes BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and foreign mmad Taher and Jamaat leader Nakibur Rahman Tarek; as well as NCP member secretary Akhtar Hossain and joint convenor Dr Tasnim Jara.This article was originally published on Daily Sun.
