Waning trust in interim govt may trigger a serious crisis, AB Party's Manju warns

If the interim government loses the trust of political parties, the nation will face a great crisis, casting doubt on the implementation of reforms, the prosecution for mass killings, and the facilitation of free and fair elections, AB Party Chairman Mujibur Rahman Manju has warned.

As the chief guest at a rally organised by his party at Chattogram Laldighi Ground today, Manju also said the persistent discord and misunderstandings between the student-masses that drove the 2024 uprising and the anti-fascist political parties are becoming increasingly frustrating for the nation.

"Although the interim government started its journey with the support of all stakeholders, it has gradually become distant from the students and the political parties that spearheaded the mass uprising."

The AB Party chairman pointed out that two opposing factions have emerged, centring on reforms and elections, and they are now engaged in a detrimental rivalry of disgrace over the shares of the mass uprising credit.

Manju alleged that, following the defeat of fascism, the interim government did not even make any attempts to uphold unity between the parties. "Efforts to cement the unity remain a far cry

"Consequently, now the trust of political parties in the government is diminishing. A variety of doubts are emerging. The distrust is giving rise to a major crisis," he said.

Manju also called on all sides to come out conflicts and stubbornness, mentioning that neighbouring India has taken a "disgraced stand" in favour of the defeated fascist force.

He also demanded an immediate solution to the waterlogging problem in the port city and a unanimous decision regarding Chattgram port and the Rakhine humanitarian corridor issue.

The rally was presided over by AB Party's Central Vice Chairman and its Chattogram Metropolitan unit Convener Golam Faruq, and moderated by Chattogram Metropolitan Jubo Party Convener Abdur Rahman Monir.

The party's General Secretary, Barrister Asaduzzaman Fuad, addressed as a special guest.
