Rising Dissatisfaction and National Revenue Board’s Work Halt Against Mohammad Yunus Government in Bangladesh

International News: The ongoing resentment against the interim government of Mohammad Yunus in Bangladesh is increasing rapidly, leading to instability in both the politics and economy of the country. Opposition to government policies and proposed laws has caused massive discontent in the administration, business, and social sectors. This situation has led to tension and restlessness across the country, which is a worrying sign for the future.

Protests of government employees continue

Government employees in Bangladesh have protested strongly against the government's proposed "Government Service (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025". This law promotes strict action against government employees, making it easier to dismiss and punish them. Employees are demanding its withdrawal, considering it an extremely black and unjust law. The protest continues in the secretariat complex of the capital, Dhaka, where both the anger and courage of the employees are at their peak.

Protest and boycott of work in the National Revenue Board

Along with the protest of government employees, officials of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) are also raising their voice against another ordinance of the government. They are continuously boycotting work and are threatening to stop all import-export work indefinitely. This is not only affecting the government machinery but is also likely to have a deep impact on the country's economy. A huge halt in business activities may weaken the confidence of foreign investors.

Growing dissatisfaction in the business world

There is also a lot of disappointment in the business community of Bangladesh regarding the policies of the government. Shaukat Aziz Russell, president of the Bangladesh Textiles Mills Association (BTMA), has clarified that the condition of business in the country has become the worst since the Liberation War of 1971. He warned that the social and economic crisis will deepen due to rising unemployment. Russell also said that in the last eight months, the Investment Development Authority has not been able to bring any new investors to the country, due to which economic development has stopped.

The confidence of foreign investors is breaking

Foreign investors are worried about the policy instability and economic environment of Bangladesh. They are now preferring other countries like Vietnam for investment, as they have a better and more stable business environment. This perception of investors is becoming a big threat to the country's economic development and is having a negative impact on job creation and production.

Instability in education sector too, teachers on strike

Teachers of government primary schools are also preparing to go on an indefinite strike for a salary hike and better functioning. They are preparing to intensify the movement if their demands are ignored by the government. This situation can also affect the education system, which threatens to adversely affect the future of the country.

A serious political and economic crisis

Bangladesh is currently going through a serious political and economic crisis. Widespread protests against government policies, stagnation in economic activities, lack of investment, and instability in the education sector are posing challenges to the prosperity and stability of the country. It is important for the government to establish dialogue with all parties and reconsider controversial policies so that the country can come out of this difficult phase. Economic and social stability of Bangladesh is possible only through cooperation and compromise.

This is a crucial time for Bangladesh when it needs to take its steps wisely and with foresight so that it can continue moving on the path of development and provide a better life to its people.
