Eyes of expatriate Bangladeshis are in the steps of the new government

The hope of non-partisan people of Bangladesh is that the new government should try to bring meaningful positive changes in the country.Let the new government work for the country with patriotism and not implement its own policies like BNP Awami League or any other political party.People want the new government not to play the game of forming new political parties or forming alliances with old political contenders under the influence of their power.The controversial government officials should be replaced by relatively good officials.Appreciate good people everywhere.

Common Bangladeshi expatriates want to see what the new government will do in Bangladesh and how it will run the country. Ex-ministers are being arrested one by one. The case is being filed against the former prime minister and ministers. Ordinary non-party expatriates who are not supporters of the big parties want effective measures to be taken to reduce corruption in the country. Stop killing at the border. Let the rule of law be effective. 

Almost 300 people are thought to have died in the South Asian country since protests began in July. The demonstrations started as student protests but quickly spread, prompting a government-ordered crackdown.

It has left members of the Bangladeshi community here in the UK worried about what might happen next.

Autocorrect Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who ruled Bangladesh for 15 years, quit her role last Monday (5 July), following weeks of anti-government protests that culminated with demonstrators entering her official residence.

Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Father of the Nation in Bangladesh, will no longer be commemorated on his death anniversary, according to reports.

Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has called from India for an investigation into those responsible for the deaths of students and others during the weeks of violent protests in Bangladesh that led to her removal. Ms. Hasina, who resigned and fled Bangladesh on August 5 after student activists led an uprising against her government, is suspected of being responsible for much of the deadly violence, along with other high officials in her administration.

Bangladesh's main opposition party has urged people to exercise restraint in what it said was a "transitional moment on our democratic path.".

Volker Türk, the United Nations's (UN) human rights chief, also said the transition of power in Bangladesh must be "in line with the country's international obligations" and "inclusive and open to the meaningful participation of all Bangladeshis.".
