Amir Khasru Slams Failed Interim Government: ‘Return to Your Own Work and Let the People Decide the Nation’s Future’

Dhaka, 01 November 2025: BNP Standing Committee member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury has added new heat to the political arena of Bangladesh. Terming the interim government as a ‘failure’, he directed the members of the Consensus Commission to return to their old professions or work and leave the future of the country to the people. He made these comments at a press conference, which further complicated the current political turmoil.

Amir Khusru said,

“The actions of the interim government seem to be putting their own positions ahead of the interests of the country. This is a failed attempt. Go back to wherever you were working—teaching, medicine, or any other profession. The people of Bangladesh have the right to decide. They will choose their representatives through elections.”

The comments come amid growing discontent among political parties since the formation of the interim government. Opposition parties including the BNP have been alleging that the government has failed to maintain impartiality and that the personal interests of some advisors are being prioritized.

Amir Khasru also said, “There is an attempt to distort the history of the July incident or the Liberation War, which is unacceptable. The people of the country are the judge of everything.” Other BNP leaders present at the press conference supported this comment. Another party leader, Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, said, “Some decisions of the interim government, such as the July Charter or the amendment to the Job Ordinance, are being taken only for the benefit of a few advisors. This is undermining the democratic process of the country.”

There has been no official response from the interim government, but political analysts say such comments could further inflame the pre-election atmosphere. The government has recently ordered government officials to limit their foreign travel, in what is seen as an effort to maintain political stability.

The BNP leader’s angry statement has sparked a new debate in the country’s politics. There are mixed reactions among the public – some call it a bold move, while others believe it will increase instability. The country is waiting to see how this issue unfolds in the coming days.
