Bangladesh Civil society members’ reaction –
Noted economist and academician Prof Muzaffer Ahmad said the coup attempt is the result of ‘unrest’ prevailing in society. “The military force is not isolated from our society. The force is influenced by ongoing unrest in our society,” he said.
He said, “Although we are living in a democratic country, we are yet to absorb democratic behaviour and culture. This is why such incidents occur.” He also stressed the need for national unity on welfare of the nation to avert such attempts in future.
Human Rights activist Mrs. Sulatana Kamal stated that it was an attempt to veer off the ongoing war-crime trials.
