Please follow this space and keep refreshing the page for all the latest updates pertaining to the violence in Bandgladesh after Sheikh Hasina resigned as Prime Minister and fled to India. The violence in the neighbouring country was triggered by anti-government protests against the job quota system.
Days after Hasina's ouster, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus took oath to helm the violence-hit Bangladesh's new interim government on Thursday. Yunus was sworn-in as the chief advisor to the interim government, along with an advisory council consisting 16 members, as reported by The Daily Star.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi extended their wishes to Yunus after he assumed charge of office as the chief advisor to the interim government.
He was administered oath by President Mogammed Shahabuddin at the presidential palace 'Banghabhaban'. No leader from the Awami League was spotted at the oath-taking ceremony. Diplomats from China, Iran, Argentina, Japan, UK, UAE, Qatar, and The Netherlands were present at the ceremony, The Daily Star reported.
The two key organisers of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, which eventually led to Sheikh Hasina's ouster, Md. Nahid Islam and Asif Mahmud, are also part of the advisory council.
Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association (Bela) Chief Executive Syeda Rizwana Hasan, women's rights activist Farida Akhtar, right-wing party Hefazat-e-Islam's deputy chief AFM Khalid Hossain, chairman of Chittagong Hill Tracts Development Board Supradip Chakma, Grameen Telecom trustee Nurjahan Begum, freedom fighter Sharmeen Murshid, Prof Bidhan Ranjan Roy, and former foreign secretary Touhid Hossain are also among Yunu's advisory council members.
The 84-year-old professor had flown in from Paris to Dhaka on Thursday to be sworn-in as the interim government's head, which had to be formed following the resignation of former PM Sheikh Hasina amid massive protests against her government. Hasina fled Bangladesh after tendering her resignation.
