Bangladesh’s Interim Chief Adviser, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, emphasized comprehensive reforms before the next general elections during his first diplomatic engagement in Dhaka. After former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted amid violent protests, Yunus outlined his government's roadmap for restoring law and order and reviving the economy. He accused Hasina of destroying Bangladesh's institutions, rigging elections, and leading a brutal dictatorship. Yunus promised a "Second Revolution" led by citizens seeking democracy. He urged international support for Bangladesh's transformation, affirming the country's commitment to multilateralism and cooperation with a UN fact-finding mission on recent violence.
