New Prime Minister of Bangladesh: After the political turmoil going on for the last several days in Bangladesh, the interim government has been approved. Nobel Prize winner Mohammad Yunus has been chosen to lead the interim government in Bangladesh. This decision was taken during a meeting held at Banga Bhavan (President's House) chaired by the country's President Mohammad Shahabuddin. The protesting students have accepted Mohammad Yunus' proposal to lead the interim government. Along with the student leaders leading the reservation movement, the three army chiefs also attended the meeting.
Sheikh Hasina has fled to India…
A day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina abruptly resigned and left the country amid massive anti-government protests in Bangladesh, leaders of the Students Against Discrimination said they want Nobel laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus to head the country's interim government.
Nahid Islam, one of the main coordinators of the movement, said in a video shared on social media that he has already spoken to Yunus (84) and he is ready to take on this important responsibility to save Bangladesh.
We have become free: Dr. Yunus
On Sheikh Hasina leaving Bangladesh, Dr Yunus said, “We have become free and now we are a free country. As long as she was here, we were under her control. She was acting as an occupying force, a dictator, a general. She was controlling everything.”
Mohammad Yunus will be the chief advisor in the interim government
Nahid Islam said, “We have decided that an interim government will be formed, whose chief advisor will be internationally renowned Nobel Prize winner Dr. Muhammad Yunus. He has wide acceptance.”
Who is Muhammad Yunus?
Yunus' experiment in providing banking facilities to the poor was to establish Bangladesh as a hub of microcredit. Though Yunus is currently out of the country, he welcomed Hasina's ouster and called the development the country's “second liberation”.
exposed the lives of the poor
Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his initiative to eradicate poverty through the Grameen Bank. His method was adopted in various islands.
Yunus and Hasina's government have long been at odds for unclear reasons. After Hussein came to power in 2008, authorities launched several investigations against Yunus.
In 2011, Bangladesh authorities began a review of the activities of statutory rural banks and Yunus was removed from his post as managing director on charges of violating government retirement rules.
Many allegations have been made against Mohammad Yunus
Yunus has been charged in dozens of cases. In January, the court also sentenced Yunus to six months in jail for violating labor laws.
Some believe that Yunus had announced the formation of a political party in 2007, when the country was under military rule and Hasina was in jail. Hasina was very upset by this announcement of Yunus. Although Yunus did not execute his plan, he criticized Bangladeshi leaders at the time and accused them of being only interested in money.
Mohammad Yunus continued to oppose Sheikh Hasina
In an interview, Yunus expressed his desire to return to the country and continue his work. He praised the students for working together to “liberate Bangladesh” and accused Hasina of destroying the legacy of her father and Bangladesh's founder 'Bangabandhu' Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
As news of Hasina leaving the country spread, hundreds of people barged into her home and vandalised and vandalised it. Over 300 people have been killed in anti-government protests in the country in the past 15 days.
