There is only one word that comes to mind when we look over the events at Bangladesh Bank on Wednesday - disgraceful. We must question: When a mob of officials can forcibly eject a senior adviser from the nation’s central bank headquarters, chanting slogans and resorting to physical intimidation, could it be termed as anything but hooliganism? The central bank cannot be run in this manner, one where it is allowed to descend into mob rule. This is an institution that must be operated on the principles of merit, transparency, and institutional independence. The government must act decisively and restore discipline within Bangladesh Bank.
