 Politics Of Bangladesh

Politics is each the art and technological know-how of government. The artwork refers to
adjusting capability with the people dwelling within the society. Science implies ordering
relationships and a way to behave in guiding or influencing governmental coverage.
Therefore, Politics joins each of the troubles of artwork and technology in government
for controlling humans.
Political issues of Bangladesh happen in a structure of a parliamentary delegate
vote-based republic, by which the Prime Minister of Bangladesh is the head of
government and a multi-party framework. The public authority practices leader power.
Regulative power is vested in both the public authority and parliament. The Constitution
of Bangladesh was written in 1972 and has undergone seventeen amendments.
The ongoing parliamentary framework was embraced in 1991. Somewhere in the range
of 1975 and 1990, the country experienced military rule. An overseer government was
first presented in 1990 after the renunciation of military despot Lieutenant General HM
Ershad to notice an unbiased vote-based political decision, according to requests of the
two significant ideological groups, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Bangladesh
Awami League. Following the constrained acquiescence of HM Ershad, Chief Justice
Shahabuddin Ahmed was named as the Chief Advisor and noticed the 1991 general
political decision. A Caretaker government is going by a Chief Adviser who partakes in a
similar power as the standard top state leader of the nation except for safeguard matters.
The Advisor's capability as Ministers. After 1991, the Caretaker government likewise
held the appointment in 1996, 2001, and 2008. Albeit the primary overseer government
was expected to help the progress from dictatorship to a majority rules system, this
framework was standardized in 1996 by the Sixth Parliament because of the rising
questions between the BNP and Awami League. In 2011 the then controlling party
Awami League annulled the guardian government framework. This has been the most
significant reason for debate among numerous others between the BNP and the Awami
League from that point forward.

Jatiya Party:
This is a solid political party of Bangladesh that is playing the role of the opponent of the
government political party. This party was founded by Hussain Muhammad Ershad, a
lieutenant General of the Bangladesh Army, and he was the president of Bangladesh for
eight years, from 11 December 1983 – 6 December 1990. At that time, HM Ershad was a
president and army chief (4th), so the whole country was ruled like a dictatorship and
thought by the people. When HM Ershad was the president of Bangladesh, on 1 January
1986, he founded the Jatiya party as a political party in Bangladesh. At that time, he was
an army retired chief who ceased the presidential power and turned it politically. He is the
one and only dictatorship president in Bangladesh's history. So the other political parties
of that time started the movement to finish the dictatorship regime, and they succeeded in
removing Hussain Muhammad Ershad from the presidential post. After that Jatiya

party was organized with BNP in the election and with Bangladesh Awami League.
Mainly they have changed their decisions from time to time about organizing with any
political party at the time of the election. But after HM Ershad, this party didn't make a
good result in any political government election till now, and they are now playing as a
leading opponent political party of the Bangladesh government ( Awami League).

Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP):

BNP is a significant and assertive political party in Bangladesh. It was founded on 1
September 1978. Ziaur Rahman was the founder of the Bangladesh Nationalist party.
After the Independence of Bangladesh, BNP became government as a political party
three times which are 1978 ( the president was Ziaur Rahman), 1991 ( Prime Minister
Begum Khaleda Zia), and again in 2001, Begum Khaleda Zia Became the Prime minister.

The BNP's establishing statement claims that Bangladesh's individuals need to " see that
full-scale confidence and trust in the all-powerful Allah, a majority rule government,
patriotism and communism of social and monetary equity are reflected in all circles of
public life".Begum Khaleda Zia, who filled in as the party's director from 1983, was
chosen as the prominent lady Prime Minister of Bangladesh and the subsequent female
Prime Minister of a larger Muslim country after Pakistan's Benazir Bhutto. Begum
Khaleda Zia is the party's director, with Tarique Rahman as the senior evil habit
administrator and Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir as the secretary-general. But after 2006,
this party didn't get any chance to become the government as a political party, and they
were forced from the Awami League, Bangladesh's main government political party. So
to that pressure, the prominent political leader could not establish their power, and the
unfair election put the party down to power.

Bangladesh Awami League:

One of the most significant political parties in Bangladesh, they have been playing the
government role as a political party since 2006 till now. It was first founded as an Awami
Muslim League at the time of British ruling time, but after the independence, Sheikh
Mujiibur Rahman changed the name of this party in 1972 to which is called Bangladesh
Awami league. Tajuddin Ahmed was the first prime minister of Bangladesh during the
1971 war against Bangladesh Awami League, and then Sheikh Mujibur Rahman became
the prime minister of Bangladesh in 1972. Bangladesh Awami League won the election in
1996, and the prime minister was Sheikh Hasina.

After the killing of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Sheikh Hasina got the power to rule the
party, and she is still the secretary of the Bangladesh Awami league. Sheikh Hasina got
elected as the prime minister of Bangladesh in 1996 and 2006, and still, she is the leader
and prime minister of the government's ruling party Awami League. There are many
questions about the election during the period of the Awami league. The opposition
parties and the news channel published unethical election signals during the Bangladesh
Awami league elections.
