He said the tendency to politicize state institutions, seen during Sheikh Hasina’s previous tenure, is now emerging under the current government. Addressing the discussion as the chief guest, Nahid urged the ruling party to act responsibly. He also accused the ruling party of betraying the people’s mandate. “After the July popular uprising, the long-awaited election was held, but that election has been questioned in various ways. According to the July Charter, we were sworn in, yet the ruling party has dishonored the commitment of the July mandate,” he said.
