Biplobi Workers Party General Secretary (GS) Saiful Huq has raised concerns over the intention of the interim government following the home adviser's comment on people's expectation that it should remain in power for five years, reports UNB.
"Our home adviser has said people are saying this government should stay in power for five years. I would like to ask him, are you expressing the government's thoughts? What exactly is your agenda? What is the real objective behind such comments?" Huq said.
He made the remarks while speaking at a solidarity human chain programme in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the capital on Friday.
Huq also questioned the underlying motives behind such a statement, urging the government to clarify its position.
Biplobi Jubo Sanghati organised the programme, demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza, the liberation of Palestine from occupation, and the prosecution of Netanyahu and his genocidal clique.
He said when the home adviser talks about remaining in power for five years, citing public demand, questions inevitably arise about the government's intentions. "There will be questions about whether you have a different and hidden agenda, or if there is a new agenda at play."
He also said if the home adviser has expressed the interim government's true intentions, Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus should clearly communicate their stance to the people.
Talking to reporters after a programme in Sunamganj on Thursday, Home Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said people are telling them to stay for five more years.
Huq urged the chief adviser to take steps to stop the exaggeration and inflated language used by advisers of his administration for the sake of political stability.
"What you are doing in the name of the people will create confusion between the government and political parties, and increase distrust. As a result, whatever progress we could have made may be at risk of being undone," he warned.
Huq also called upon the chief adviser to warn the members of the advisory council of the interim government to refrain from making unguarded comments. "If they defy the warning, dismiss them. If necessary, appoint new responsible individuals."
