President IazUddin as Caretaker Chief Advisor -Your Views

[Ahmed_B]

Awami League has refused to accept KM Hasan or MK Aziz.
BNP/Jamaat has refused to accept Mahbubul Amin or Hamidul Haque.

Govt. has taken written declaration from Hamid last night that he is not going to take charge in a controvercial situation.

It is declared that Chief Advisor of the caretaker government will take charge at 8:00 PM local time even though who will take charge is not declared yet. The government has invited the political parties to the handover ceremony ... but AL is not invited.

It is almost obvious that the President himself is going to take charge as the chief of Caretaker Govt. This is definitely going to become another controvercial decision by the ruling BNP. It appears that they are very much desperate to maintain their stand. Things don't look very good at all.

We are definitely heading towards more political Chaos.

Its better if Iazuddin can get neutral advisors and can control the situation in the country using Military.

The reason AL declined KM Hasan, BNP is declining Mahmudul Amin and Hamidul Huq.

Politicians are writing and violating constituion according to their will. Shame !!!!

[Yameen]

looks like der gonna be more chaos from the AL activists if iajuddin takes charge....

[Spitfire_x86]

It's done now. Iazuddin has taken the oath.

more chaos and destruction ourself are coming ahead!!!!!!!!

[Miraz]

Spitty, who are the advisors?? are you watching Live??

[Spitfire_x86]

Yeah, I watched it live. Only Iazuddin has taken oath, didn't hear name of any advisors.

IIRC, head of caretaker govt takes oath first and the advisors take oath later separately.

According to Daily Star, 10 advisors took the oath

http://www.thedailystar.net/update.htm#01

But BDNews said, advisors will take oath on Monday.

Confused!! What's going on???

[Spitfire_x86]

I don't know, I wasn't paying much attention (was doing other stuff while watching). But I definitely didn't see anyone taking oath except Iazuddin.

[cricket_pagol]

The country is pushed towardspolitical unrest again... the president should have waited and tried to find a neutral person.

[Miraz]

AL seems to extend quiet support to Iazuddin in a surprise move. They expect Iazuddin to prove that he is acceptable.

Hope, they will refrain from logi-boitha movement. I also heard that all doner agencies threatened to quit BD if the current chaos situation does not improve.

[Ahmed_B]

This is not really an end to anything. It is only the beginning of more chaos. Iazuddin is probably the MOST GUTLESS president in BD history... and has been a well-known puppet of the former BNP govt. The role of a Chief Advisor demands ultimate self-determination.

AL will probably now force for reform in the Election Comission and Voter's list.. both of which have been highly criticized by everyone. I say.. the game has just begun.

May be so, but do consider this he's had a heart-attack and surgery recently so he's not in a very fit condition to show his guts. This is also why AL is in 'quiet observation' mode. I can only hope that as a president should the situation demand him to tackle the political chaos with 'force', he will do so without fear.

If not the most, definitely one of them. However I pity this poor fellow, I doubt he realize at the end of the day he will be the first causality of war from one way or other. This is the same guy who pardoned a convicted (In Bangladesh Court) BNP murderer (living in Sweden) at the pressure of BNP so that he can come back and visit Bangladesh.

He is already by default a 'not impartial person'. Unless he over compensate agreeing AL demands, his impartiality will always be questioned. On the other hand, if he is too lean to AL demands, his big bosses in BNP will be mad at him.

Either way he is a sitting duck.

And Yes, I agree, it's not the end, but just the beginning of the chess game. BNP is in no mood to make the interim government or EC impartial identity what is supposed to be in the first place. They manipulated and corrupted the process from the beginning. Why is that? I guess they are not as confident as before that they are capable to win the election like the last time when they win by public vote.

Isnt that Iajuddin Ahmed was one of the TWIN_PRESIDENT couples of months ago while he was ill. Some section of his own party (BNP) wanted to kick him out and replace him with Jamiruddin Sharker, the other TWIN_PRESIDENT....if I am not wrong? If my memory does not betrays me (as it is prone to), AL asked to instill IAhmed to his post. (Please correct me........). This might be one reason why AL now opted to observe his work: that is who he is going to pick as the advisers, how he handles the EC and its crappy jaggernauts........

[Miraz]

I am optimistic about Iazuddin but lot depends on the advisory board.

He should select capable and neutral persons as advisors.

[cricket_pagol]

I am not optimistic about this situation anymore. I hope Iazuddin's action will prove me wrong.

[Duck]

I am really "Hotash" but cant blame IAhmed.......he should have tried every other options before resuming the post: read this...
http://www.thedailystar.net/2006/10/30/d6103001085.htm
But chaos of AL/BNP/Jam made all these happen.

I hope he would earn faith of AL when selecting the 10-advisers. Are they been already picked up?

After the president's oath taking ceremony, the AL and its 13 allies held an emergency meeting at Sudha Sadan.

Hasina said their earlier announced blockade programmes and movements for reform demand will continue.

Hasina however said the current siege program will continue unless transparent ballot box and voter list with identity cards are introduced.

I am really surprised by AL that they have not rejected IAhmed. It is welcoming that their senses are coming back.

I doubt thats true. US Ambassador made it and Hasina couldn't go. Thats just lame. They just didn't want to go, cause it didn't happen the way they wanted it to happen.
