Muhammad Yunus, set to lead Bangladesh’s interim government after Sheikh Hasina's ouster, has urged citizens to avoid violence and focus on rebuilding the nation. Yunus, arriving from Europe, emphasized the need for calm and unity to safeguard the country’s future. His appeal follows Hasina’s escape amid mass protests demanding her resignation. Yunus plans to hold elections within a few months. Meanwhile, Tarique Rahman, in exile during Hasina’s rule, also called for swift elections and restraint. Police have reported retaliatory attacks against Hasina’s allies by protestors.
