In his first address as Bangladesh's interim chief adviser, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus pledged to take strong action against those inciting anarchy. Yunus condemned the violence that has led to over 560 deaths since mid-July and caused extensive damage, including targeted attacks on Hindus. The unrest followed the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has sought refuge in India. Yunus promised to restore stability and oversee elections to transition to a new government. The U.S. has expressed support for Yunus's efforts to guide Bangladesh towards a democratic future.
