Bangladesh: Jatiya Party Questions Interim Government’s Neutrality, Calls for Caretaker Administration
Oct 24, 2025The Jatiya Party (JP) on Thursday sharply criticized the interim government’s neutrality and demanded the establishment of a caretaker-style administration ahead of the next general election.
Addressing a public gathering at the party’s central office in Kakrail, Dhaka, JP Chairman Ghulam Muhammad Quader said the interim government has lost its impartiality over the past year, making it incapable of overseeing fair and credible elections.
“The country is going through a critical period. The economy and law-and-order situation are deteriorating, and the upcoming elections cannot be credible if the current government remains in power,” Quader said. He urged the government to hand over administration to a neutral, non-partisan body to ensure free and fair polls.
JP Secretary General Shamim Haider Patwary added that the party would not participate in any election process managed by the current setup unless meaningful reforms are implemented. He also dismissed calls for an immediate referendum, saying that such a move should only follow a properly elected parliament.
The party’s demand for a caretaker-style government echoes similar calls by other major political parties, including the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), which has urged the interim administration to operate in a neutral capacity, even if it is not formally designated as a caretaker government.
