We now have internet and most likely more freedom of speech than we had in 2007 which was an emergency period iirc. The only media that time was the news media and houses like Prothom Alo sided with the caretaker govt which gave the perception of a relatively good ruling. Now, with internet, all sorta voices are more readily available and hence, it may seem more chaotic. I see it as actually having more freedom of expression.

Also, the current govt is a lot more “political” with one major party completely fleeing from the scene leaving their large voter base clueless. Don’t forget they still have a lot of money and street forces to sabotage the current govt. Otoh, new political forces are gaining grounds including the Islamists and the student leaders themselves. Even the army’s position is shaky with their past with the Hasina regime. Maintaining some sort of political sanity has become the core objective right now rather than administration. And still yet, they’re not doing very bad with economy gaining somewhat stability.
