Bangladesh's New Government Faces Backlash Over Economic Woes and Authoritarian Tactics

Bangladesh's interim government, led by Dr.

Yunus, is under fire for its handling of the economy and alleged authoritarian practices. Despite promises of reform and stability after the ousting of Sheikh Hasina, critics accuse the administration of cronyism and masking undemocratic rule behind reformist rhetoric. The country is also grappling with rising prices of essential goods and a growing black economy, casting doubt on the credibility of reported GDP growth. Meanwhile, the government's approach to the Rohingya refugee crisis and repatriation plans has sparked further controversy.

Public sentiment is increasingly skeptical, with calls for genuine change and transparency.
