BNP leader Amir Khasru has warned that the continuous delay in holding elections is pushing the country toward deeper instability. Speaking to reporters, he said the nation is in a state of anxiety. “We removed autocracy with unity, expecting a transition to democratic governance. That expectation remains unmet,” he said. He criticized the interim government for acting like an elected one, making major decisions regarding corridors, ports, and investment deals. “What is the legal authority of this government to make such decisions?” he asked. Khasru also expressed dissatisfaction over the delay in handing over the mayoral responsibilities to Ishraq Hossain.
