Bangladesh Appoints Interim Government Led by Muhammad Yunus

Muhammad Yunus has been appointed as the head of Bangladesh's interim government following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina amid violent protests. Yunus, recognized for his efforts in poverty alleviation, will oversee the government until elections are held, with the swearing-in ceremony scheduled for this evening. India's Foreign Ministry has expressed support for the interim government, emphasizing the importance of the people's interests in Bangladesh and monitoring the situation, particularly regarding attacks on minority communities. The interim government will also address the resignations of top officials from Bangladesh Bank, reflecting growing unrest among employees demanding change. This appointment comes against a backdrop of constitutional questions regarding interim governance in Bangladesh, as the previous caretaker system was declared unconstitutional. The international community is closely watching the developments, highlighting the implications for Bangladesh's stability and its relationship with India.
