On February 4, the Election Commission (EC) at a meeting with Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed asked the interim government to create an environment conducive to holding elections to city corporations and some municipalities in April, either by relaxing or by lifting the state of emergency in respective areas, reports Daily Star. The EC suggested that the emergency regime gradually allows 'indoor politics' to facilitate electoral reforms including registration of political parties with the commission. The process is supposed to be completed in June according to the announced electoral roadmap. Election Commissioner Brig Gen (retd) M Sakhawat Hussain said, "Now it depends on the government whether it will lift or relax the state of emergency to create the environment required for holding the polls."

Daily Star has reported that the dormitories of Dhaka Polytechnic Institute in the national capital’s Tejgaon area have turned into a safe haven for fugitive criminals and militants. Criminals and militants are taking refuge within the three hostels of the Institute. Unidentified students and law enforcement agencies have confirmed that the criminals are being provided shelter by the Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS), student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. Several teachers with Jamaat background and with alleged links with the Harkat-ul Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B) are also involved in the incident. Prof Shamshul Alam, principal of the Institute, admitted that some teachers of the institute are assisting the militants to hide in the dormitories, but said that the authorities are unable to take actions against those teachers since the issue is "out of their jurisdiction to deal with".

Home Secretary Abdul Karim said that the Islamist militant groups in the country are home grown as they finance themselves domestically and are patronised by particular political parties. Speaking at the opening session of a day-long conference on militancy in Dhaka, Karim said, "Weapons or types of explosives that they have used may have foreign origins or [come from] neighbouring countries, but their financing is arranged internally - not from external sources." He also said that the caretaker government is focusing on dismantling the network of small 'extremist' groups such as Allah'r Dal, Hizb-ut-Tahrir and Hizb-ut-Tawhid.
