00:00What is your opinion regarding the current political situation in Bangladesh ahead of the national elections?

00:06As chief advisor hinted that the election will be held early February, what is your opinion about the atmosphere of the parliament?

00:13You see the question of election, it arose a long time ago after the change of 5th August

00:19because most of the people expected that after changing the government,

00:25there will be a free and fair and inclusive election so that everybody can see that the people representation is in power.

00:34That's the main cause.

00:35But ultimately after the 5th August, there was a conspiracy as my opinion

00:43because the state did not proceed in accordance with the death demand of the people

00:49because subsequently we saw that Dr. Inus came and he was taken of the power as an interim government

00:55though there was no provision in the constitution, there should be a caretaker government.

01:01If they formed a caretaker government, then there was a possibility to declare the election date earlier.

01:10But ultimately when they taken over the power and long times they did not say anything about the election

01:15because they always say it takes 5 years, after completing the many kinds of reform,

01:23they will declare the election and some of the supporters of the government,

01:28they also made a speech according to that idea and there was a very complexity in the mind of the people

01:35that maybe there will be no election in the short term.

01:39But when a big party of Bangladesh, the Nationalist Party, I mean BNP,

01:44when they raised their voice about the election and when they said that within the December,

01:49they must declare the election and then there was a scenario change and ultimately what happens

01:56the chief advisor went to the London and met with the BNP chairman, acting chairman Tarek Rahman

02:04and there was a conversation with them.

02:07After that meeting, they made a joint declaration from which we know that there will be election in February

02:15any time, both the persons, both the leaders agreed with that point.

02:20And when that declaration was came, then the people of Bangladesh starting to think

02:26that maybe there will be election in February, but we are not sure till now

02:30because not yet the election commission declared the schedule.

02:33But then that that was the call.

02:36So we'll see.

02:38Well, we're at the advisory table.

02:40And the reporting全部 Wahlhue Kim, I don't know.

02:41Is there any other question?

02:48Because last night was the캉s?

02:49I have a wonderful people of Bangladesh
