Planning Adviser Wahiduddin Mahmud on Sunday emphasized that although the primary responsibility of the interim government was to implement necessary state reforms, it has been consistently constrained by a severe shortage of time to even consider these issues thoroughly.
“Our job was to undertake reform initiatives, but now it is difficult to find time even for thinking about reforms,” he stated during a briefing on the outcomes of the National Economic Council (NEC) meeting held at the NEC conference room.
He explained that the interim government was given a limited period mainly to plan and execute reform measures, but to do so effectively, it requires some space to reflect and strategize with a clear and calm mind. “It needs a stable atmosphere to think about anything,” he added.
Mahmud also noted the influx of demands faced by the interim government since it took office in August last year. However, he clarified that many of these demands are not genuine reforms but rather efforts to address discrimination and deprivation.
“These are not reforms; these are addressing discrimination and ending deprivation,” he said, pointing out the distinction between immediate relief efforts and long-term structural reforms.
