Environment, Forest and Climate Change Syeda Rizwana Hasan said, “Our responsibilities are broadly three, and all three are very difficult. One responsibility is reform, one is dispensing justice, and other is election”.
The adviser said this while speaking to reporters after attending a function in the capital on Friday.
“Our responsibility is a national one. We said we have taken the responsibility, not power. It will be possible for us to perform it only when we all get cooperation from all,” she said.
She said Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has given a timeframe for next election between December 2025 and June 2026.
“There is no scope to deviate from it even for a day,” the adviser said, adding that she believes that there should be no scope to talk about it in any other way.
Rizwana said after yesterday’s advisory council meeting at Jamuna they discussed for a long time on their own performance.
“We discussed whether we are actually delivering our responsibilities for which we were deputed,” she said.
Since assuming office by the interim government, she said many people with their manifold demands are coming to the streets out of their expectation from the government.
But, street demonstration is leading the Dhaka city to become paralyzed, she said adding, ‘expectation is one thing but responsibility is another.’
"We all are thinking about how to deal with the obstacles to perform the three major responsibilities," the environment adviser said.
Rizwana said, they are not under any pressure except their stress for discharging their responsibilities.
“If we are unable to perform our responsibilities, we will go back to our own business,” she said.
