Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology Adviser Nahid Islam on Monday said holding elections is not the sole
responsibility of the current interim government that came to power through a mass uprising.
“This government led by Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus is a revolutionary government, not a caretaker one,” Nahid said during a meeting with Commonwealth Assistant Secretary-General Professor Luis Franceschi at the ministry’s office, a press release of the ministry said.
Posts and Telecommunications Division Secretary Dr Md Mushfiqur Rahman, acting ICT Division Secretary Dr Muhammad Mehedi Hasan, Commonwealth advisor and head of Asia Dr Dinusha Nihara, along with other senior officials were present at the meeting.
The Adviser said elections will be held in due time as the government has formed commissions for institutional reforms to restore democracy in the country.
“The government has formed various commissions for institutional reforms, and elections will be held after these reforms are completed,” he said.
Nahid sought the Commonwealth’s support in ensuring an impartial trial of those who committed mass killings during the July uprising, adding that the judicial process for that goal has started.
