New Delhi, Nov 10 (ANI): As Bangladesh reels from the deaths of protesters, fears have been raised that the country's system of democracy is under threat, with forthcoming elections altogether derailed. Opposition leader Begum Khaleda Zia of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) is demanding that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigns to make way for a non-partisan caretaker government to oversee the elections, which are due by early January 2014. In an exclusive interview with ANI, Dr. Smruti Pattanaik, a Research Fellow at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses(IDSA) talks about the current political stalemate in Bangladesh regarding a caretaker government.
