Student leaders demand swift formation of interim govt headed by Dr Yunus

[Dhaka Tribune] The coordinators of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement have announced an outline for an interim government headed by Nobel Laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus.
…Bangladeshi social entrepreneur, banker, economist and civil society leader who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for founding the Grameen Bank and pioneering the concepts of microcredit and microfinance. I have a friend who worked with him on the microcredit thing — my feeling is that he is a wonderful banker but would be terrible at politics and governance…
This information was conveyed in a video message by key coordinators of the student movement, Nahid Islam, Asif Mahmud, and Abu Bakar Mazumdar, at 4:15am on Tuesday.

Earlier on Monday night, Nahid had announced that an outline for an interim government would be formulated within the next 24 hours.

However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
as widespread violence persisted throughout the night, the coordinators decided to announce their stance as quickly as possible, even in the middle of the night.

Earlier in the afternoon, Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman held a meeting with several political party leaders and civil society members at the Army Headquarters. After the meeting, he told the media that the formation of an interim government had been decided and would take effect shortly after discussions with the president.

In a press briefing after the meeting, the army chief said justice would be ensured for all killings and injustices.

"Keep trust in the army," he said, calling on everyone to shun the path of violence and return home.

The army chief also mentioned that he would soon meet with representatives of students and teachers.

He expressed confidence that the situation would return to normal soon and sought all-out cooperation from people of all classes and professions, including students, regardless of party affiliations and opinions.
