It will not end ongoing crisis

Some civil society members react to formation of polls-time govt

Staff Correspondent
Political analysts and academics yesterday gave mixed reactions to the formation of the polls-time cabinet and suggested an immediate dialogue between the major political parties.
Some of them said the interim cabinet

would break the current political impasse.
The main opposition BNP has rejected the cabinet and remains firm on its position that it will not participate in the national election if not overseen by a non-party caretaker government.
Prof Syed Manzoorul Islam, a noted litterateur, said this polls-time government could not be called an all-party government since the main opposition BNP had not joined it.
" Both the parties will have to make sacrifices and talks should be held to negotiate a compromise," said Manzoorul Islam, a teacher of Dhaka University English department.
Former cabinet secretary Ali Imam Majumder said there would be no political stability without the participation of the main opposition party in the polls.
The purpose of the newly-formed cabinet is to oversee the election, but it will not be able to ensure a credible and peaceful election without any cooperation of the BNP, he said.
Shantanu Majumder, a teacher of DU politi-
cal science, said the formation of the electiontime cabinet would not worsen the political situation.
" People want an immediate end to the countrywide violence that left many dead and properties damaged. And we can see a positive sign to that end.
"We have seen the opposition chief seek an appointment from the president. We may see some positive developments in the coming days."
Shantanu, however, said it was regrettable the Awami League, being a democratic party, had compromised with a former military dictator.
Nizam Ahmed, professor of the public administration department at Chittagong University, said the formation of the cabinet would not solve the crisis as the BNP had boycotted it.
"It is not an all-party cabinet, rather it is a strategy of the Awami League to make the grand alliance more organised," he said.
He stressed the need for forming a nonpartisan polls-time government through talks to end the deadlock.
