Bangladesh leaders blame administrative failures, policy gaps for political, economic, social anxieties: ReportsNew Delhi: The knives are out with barely two weeks left for the Bangladesh general election, where the players themselves call out administrative faults. Political tensions, religious intolerance, economic anxieties, and a widening civic squeeze have converged into a chorus of alarm from political leaders, observers, the media, and civil society voices across Bangladesh. A Dhaka Tribune editorial on Thursday expressed concerns about “the warning signs of a shrinking media freedom in Bangladesh”. He has bluntly called Bangladesh “the world champion in fraud”, as reported by the Dhaka Tribune, saying forged certificates and passports are harming citizens abroad. “Now, in the election field, they are continuing the same old fascist propaganda, which is nothing but blatant political hypocrisy,” he said.
