SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION: SHEIKH HASINA FORMS NEW GOVERNMENT 
 
Reftel: Dhaka 28 
 
1.  Summary: All English and vernacular newspapers extensively 
covered the swearing-in ceremony of Awami League-led Grand Alliance 
leader Sheikh Hasina and her 32-member cabinet.  (See reftel for a 
further readout on the new government.)  Editorials and commentary 
in newspapers across the political spectrum welcomed the new 
government.  Most outlets stressed the enormity of the challenges 
facing the relatively inexperienced new government, in particular 
the Foreign Minister, Dr. Dipu Moni, and the Home Minister, Shahara 
Khatun.  Outlets also emphasized Bangladeshis' high expectations of 
the new government and the importance of good governance and 
accountability.  History suggests the new government can look 
forward to a brief media honeymoon.  End summary. 
 
2. A selection of media reaction follows: 
 
A. "A NEW GOVERNMENT TAKES THE OATH OF OFFICE," an editorial in the 
January 7 generally anti-West Bangla daily INQILAB: 
 
"Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed's Caretaker Government quickly handed over 
power to Sheikh Hasina's elected government.  People from all 
political quarters appreciated this smooth handover....  We welcome 
the new Prime Minister and her government.  Hasina is aware of the 
huge responsibility that her government has undertaken." 
 
B. "WELCOME GRAND-ALLIANCE," an editorial in the January 7 strongly 
pro-BNP Bangla daily AMAR DESH: 
 
"The two-year term of the unelected caretaker government ended 
yesterday with the swearing in of the new cabinet led by Sheikh 
Hasina.  With this, the door of democracy has opened.  Though some 
have raised questions about the elections, we congratulate and 
welcome this government. The entire nation hopes that the parliament 
will be more active and will be the center of all national 
activities.... The Awami League is an old party, last in power seven 
years ago.  The party now has an opportunity to do something good 
for the country by learning from its past successes and failures. 
The people's expectation, and ours as well, is that the government 
will govern the country accordingly." 
 
C. "WELCOME TRANSITION TO ELECTED GOVERNMENT: THE CHALLENGES BEFORE 
IT ARE MANY AND ENORMOUS," an editorial in the January 7 generally 
neutral English newspaper THE DAILY STAR: 
 
"The cabinet is largely composed of new faces.  For the most part, 
it is an inexperienced team.  It will therefore be a big challenge 
for the government to deliver the goods in full measure to the 
nation.  The government itself is conscious of those challenges. 
These challenges can broadly be categorized into three areas -- 
national, regional and international. The priorities at the national 
level are prices of essentials, employment generation and 
improvement of the energy situation.  The new government will be 
expected to pursue a clear, purposeful foreign policy.  Of 
particular importance will be a firm handling of such issues as our 
maritime boundaries and checking and eliminating cross border 
insurgency.  On such issues as the Middle East, a strong response on 
Bangladesh's part to all aggressive acts, such as those being 
committed by Israel in Gaza, will signify an assertive foreign 
policy....  Let the new Hasina government speak for all citizens of 
this land." 
 
D. "NEW CABINET SWORN IN: WE WISH THEM SUCCESS," an editorial in the 
January 7 Jamaat Islami-owned Bangla daily NAYA DIGANTA: 
 
"In a parliamentary democracy, collective accountability of the 
government along with the personal accountability of the ministers 
is very important.  People have high expectations for this 
government because it has made many commitments.  The new cabinet 
must ensure a pro-people administration.  It must keep in mind that 
corruption, nepotism and politicization are created and sustained by 
the ministers.  They can also misrule.  Sycophants spread corruption 
through the ministers.  After becoming a minister, a person's 
loyalty belongs to the people, not to the party.  We wish them 
success." 
 
E. "WELCOME NEW GOVERNMENT," an editorial in the January 7 pro-Awami 
League Bangla daily JUGANTOR: 
 
"We congratulate Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her cabinet 
members.  We wish the new government success.... The people's 
 
DHAKA 00000033  002 OF 002 
 
 
expectations are very high, but the government has to prioritize its 
tasks.  Reducing the prices for essentials, curbing corruption, 
eliminating crime, ensuring security and establishing good 
governance should now be the government's first priorities.... The 
government should make the parliament effective.  No matter the size 
of the opposition, its members should be able to participate in 
debates in parliament....  Statutory bodies such as the Election 
Commission and Anti-Corruption Commission should be allowed to work 
independently to institutionalize democracy."
