The names of the members of the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus will be finalised on Wednesday. Bangladesh protest leaders have expressed hope. Actually, this decision has been taken after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India.
The names of the members will be finalised soon
Bangladesh President Mohammad Shahabuddin appointed Yunus as the head of the interim government late Tuesday night, fulfilling a major demand of the students. According to a statement issued from his office, he said that the names of the remaining members should also be finalised soon to overcome the current crisis.
300 people died
The interim government will now fill the power vacuum left after Bangladesh Army chief announced Hasina’s resignation. Hasina’s resignation followed weeks of deadly violence across the country, leaving nearly 300 people dead and thousands injured. Hasina’s resignation sparked jubilation across the country and crowds gathered at her official residence without protest after she fled.
hope to hold election
While the interim government is expected to hold elections soon after it takes office, Yunus’ spokesman said he would arrive in Dhaka on Thursday after undergoing a medical procedure in Paris. Nahid Islam, one of the main leaders of the student movement, hoped that the members of the interim government would be finalised in the next 24 hours starting late Tuesday evening.
