Bangladesh government is going to form a single high-powered bureaucratic commission to control the activates NGOs. The commission will include of representatives from the social welfare ministry, home ministry foreign ministry, Bangladesh Bank, Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms and the NGO Bureau.

Social welfare minister Minister Enamul Haque Mostafa Shahid said the commission will be named as “National Social commission to control the NGOs”. The Ngo registration will include pre registration police verification. The commission will be powered with the power to cancel registrations of any organizations.

After the recent flashing of the Islamic extremist outfit NGOs the government took up this speedy decision. Although the NGO filed needs the urgent attention to democratize and modernize effort. By the recent initiative of the government the whole Ngo filed will face challenges. Buy this initiative of the government the Ngo registration process will be more controlled by the bureaucrat and the development process of the nation will be more politicized. A large number of major NGOs are politically active. Government is taking this immature to control the NGOs from to engage in sustained political action. Recently we have experienced a political party” United citizen movement” come out from a NGO movement of a national Ngo called “Prosikha”. A certain number of Bangladeshi NGOs are active in global politics. The NGos are not influencing directly in politics but technically influencing the policy making. By the recent immature initiative of government is trying enforcing new type of politicized charitable political activity, based on an arbitrary, illogical and controversial definition of politics.

Both domestic and global politics, policy-making will obviously demonized rather than democratic without the active participation of NGOs. NGOs do have a great impact in equipping the democratic system in Bangladesh.

The NGO bureau has his legacy of mass corruption and uncensored political and Intelligence dictatorship. From registration to fund release a mass corruption in different doors the NGOs are experiencing. The Bureaucratic dictatorship is number one reason behind this. “National Social commission to control the NGOs” will make it loud.

There are 78 thousands NGO registered with different government instrument. Finance minister Muhith said that the existing money laundering law is enough to prevent militancy financing. So it’s an open question to the nation, why the government is trying to control the NGOs.

By the immature initiative of the government to control the NGOs the Development of the country will face a great challenge and the GDP will notably go down. The foreign donation and foreign donor will move to new destination.

The government should help the NGO person to work more effectively and insure the free and smooth working process by insuring the accountability.

The government should form a special commission to focus only on the Islamic Terrorism and related issues.
