Government claims implementing 62% of cabinet decisions taken in first 100 days

PMO spokesperson claims “visible and significant progress” across different sectors within the government’s first 100 days

The BNP government has implemented 62 percent of the major decisions taken by the cabinet during its first 100 days in office, according to Prime Minister’s Office spokesperson Mahdi Amin.

Speaking at a press briefing at the PMO in Tejgaon on Monday, he presented a summary of the administration’s activities since the government assumed office on Feb 17 following the general election.

Mahdi said the cabinet unanimously approved 60 major decisions in 10 meetings between Feb 17 and May 24.

“Of these, 37 decisions -- around 62 percent -- have already been implemented, while work on the remaining 23 is ongoing,” he said.

Mahdi said the government was working to establish human rights, freedom of expression and the rule of law.

He also criticised what he described as the misuse of free speech for “propaganda, hatred and toxic rhetoric”, saying such practices contradicted the spirit of the July Uprising.

Mahdi claimed the government led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman had already produced “visible and significant progress” across different sectors within its first 100 days.

Referring to those killed during the student-led mass uprising and the broader democratic movement over the past 16 years, he said the government remained committed to fulfilling public expectations to ensure a democratic Bangladesh.
