An opinion piece published on April 26, 2026, in the newspaper 'Amar Desh' warns that the cancellation of a recent referendum has deepened political divisions in Bangladesh. The article criticizes the ruling BNP government for reversing its earlier positions after coming to power, allegedly seeking to entrench authority and avoid reforms. It argues that ignoring the people’s vote and prioritizing party interests over constitutional principles risks reviving authoritarian tendencies and undermining national unity.
The commentary highlights controversies surrounding key government appointments, including the Bangladesh Bank governor, university vice-chancellors, and city administrators. It claims these decisions have raised public concern about favoritism and competence. The writer recalls the 2024 mass uprising that ousted an autocratic regime, saying citizens had hoped for a people-centered government focused on justice, industrialization, and employment.
The article concludes that rejecting the referendum’s outcome sends a dangerous message and could provoke renewed public resistance, potentially more intense than the 2024 movement.
