Call For Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus To Head Bangla Govt

DHAKA (ANI) – Leaders of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement have proposed an interim government led by Nobel Laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus, in a bid to address Bangladesh’s ongoing challenge, Dhaka Tribune reported.

This announcement was made in a video message released early hours of August 6 by key student leaders Nahid Islam, Asif Mahmud, and Abu Bakar Mazumdar.

Earlier on August 5 night, Nahid had announced that an outline for an interim government would be formulated within the next 24 hours, as per Dhaka Tribune.

This comes after the announcement of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who resigned from her position and departed Bangladesh.

Hasina’s exit came after hundreds of people were killed in a crackdown on demonstrations that began as protests job quotas and swelled into a movement demanding her downfall.

However, as widespread violence persisted throughout the night in Bangladesh, the coordinators decided to announce their stance as quickly as possible, even in the middle of the night.
