Adviser to the Interim Government Syeda Rizwana Hasan on Friday said it is not possible to talk about or take a decision right now about the tenure of their newly formed transition government without knowing the reform agenda.
“Without knowing what kind of reform you want, I can’t talk about the tenure. If you don’t want reform, that is a different thing. There is nothing to be restless right now by repeatedly talking about the tenure,” she said replying to a question from journalists, reports UNB.
Rizwana, who on Friday got the portfolio of Environment, Forest and Climate Change as adviser, was talking to reporters about the outcomes of the first informal meeting of the advisory body of Dr Muhammad Yunus-led Interim Government at Jamuna State Guest House.
Jamuna is now being used as the temporary residence of Chief Adviser to the Interim Government Dr Muhammad Yunus.
She said this interim government is to prepare the start of the journey towards a democratic country. “We’ll take only the time that is just required to take this preparation and we finally will move towards democracy,” she added.
The environment adviser said the people often talk about reform in all sectors, that ‘things can’t run in this way’ and the ‘system has to be changed’.
But the interim government alone can’t make reform and it would talk to all of society, including media and professional bodies, she said.
“We’ll go for discussion after fixing a reform agenda,” said Rizwana Hasan.
The meeting discussed how the law and order situation can be brought under control as quickly as possible. “The problem won’t be solved today but we’ve discussed solving it as soon as possible,” she said.
