New Delhi: It has been two and a half months since former PM Sheikh Hasina was ousted from power in the neighboring country Bangladesh, but the interim government there has not yet been able to give any roadmap for long-term governance. The current internal situation in Bangladesh is complicated and the confusion among the political parties is also clearly visible. Despite this, India is not hopeless.

India's diplomatic strategists believe that a wait-and-see policy is the best option right now, but they are confident that India's interests will not be ignored in the future political developments there. Along with this, India is keeping a close eye on the situation in Bangladesh.

All the work of the central government of Bangladesh is being done on a temporary basis

Sources say that there has been no change in the internal situation of Bangladesh in the last two months. Political ambiguity is the same as before. The interim government led by Professor Mohammad Yunus has not given any roadmap for conducting elections or administration. Committees have been formed to make changes in the existing police, election system etc. While a separate committee is also being considered to amend the Constitution. All the work of the central government of Bangladesh is being done on a temporary basis.

Demand to remove two ministers from the cabinet

The government has not been able to come up with a policy on economic policy, foreign policy or security. Former opposition leader Begum Khaleda Zia's political party BNP is also uneasy about this. This week BNP members met Prof. Yunus and demanded him to clarify his position on the upcoming elections and remove two ministers from his cabinet.

There has been a demand from their side to remove some judges and also suspend people from the bureaucracy. According to the above sources, this shows that BNP's relations with Professor Yunus are not very cordial. On the other hand, there is also pressure from Jamaat-e-Islami, which played an important role in ousting former PM Hasina from power, to put pressure on the interim government.

have elections soon

It is being said that the people of Jamaat are in favour of forming an elected government as soon as possible in place of the interim government. In the recent meeting with the interim government, both BNP and Jamaat have demanded to hold elections as soon as possible. Whereas the interim government argues that unless the agenda of reforms is implemented at every level, there is no point in moving forward with the election process.

However, it is also noteworthy that the interim government has not called Awami League (former PM Hasina's party) and other political parties involved in former PM Hasina's government for discussions. Diplomatic sources say that the way the situation is developing, it seems that political instability in the neighboring country can last for a long time.

Even sick people are facing problems in getting visas on time

On the other hand, the activities of the Indian High Commission are very limited. From a security point of view, India has called back many of its diplomats from there, due to which the visa process has also become very limited. There is a problem in issuing visas to sick people on time as per the demand. Until the interim government tightens the security arrangements, it will be difficult for India to provide normal visa services.
