Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus, renowned for his microfinance work, will serve as the chief adviser to Bangladesh's interim government, as confirmed by student protest leaders. Yunus, known as the "banker to the poor," agreed to take on the role given the nation's current turmoil. The announcement follows President Mohammed Shahabuddin's statement about forming an interim government after Sheikh Hasina's ouster. Protests over a controversial quota system have resulted in over 300 deaths. Yunus has had a contentious relationship with Hasina, facing numerous legal challenges during her tenure.
