Dhaka, Dec. 14 -- Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) Executive Director Iftekharuzzaman on Sunday said politicians and bureaucrats have failed to draw lessons from the July 2024 mass uprising.

"Although the interim government formed several task forces, including six major commissions, with the aim of reforms, the key reforms could not be implemented due to bureaucrats. The first instance of mob violence in Bangladesh after July was created by bureaucrats at the Secretariat - within a week of the previous government's fall, a mob situation emerged at the Secretariat at their behest. They are controlling everything," he said.

Iftekharuzzaman was speaking at an event organised by the Citizen's Platform at city's Agargaon.
