0:43Now PlayingNobel Prize-winning economist Muhammad Yunus was sworn in as the chief adviser of Bangladesh’s interim government, days after student-led protests forced the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, to step down and flee the country. #politics #bangladesh
Yunus, one of the South Asian nation’s most respected figures, landed at Dhaka airport in the afternoon and shook hands with the military chiefs and members of civil society. Yunus’s rank is equivalent to a prime minister, fulfilling a key demand of the student protesters.
Salehuddin Ahmed, a former Bangladesh Bank governor, was sworn in as an adviser, along with 12 others, including two protest leaders. Asif Nazrul, a law professor and one of the new advisers, said that the new administration will “ensure justice for all deaths during the police crackdown on student protests.”
