Mohammad Yunus, head of the interim government of Bangladesh, on Saturday, has called a meeting of the Advisory Council to review the growing “discomfort” between his administration, political parties and the army, whose time is not scheduled. This information was received from the media reports.
A few hours before this, Younus expressed his desire to step down from the post of Chief Advisor. He cited the difficulties in working due to lack of consensus among political parties about change.
The news agency ‘UNB’ quoted sources as saying that Younus will currently hold a meeting with advisors (actually ministers) soon after the meeting of ECNEC (Executive Committee of National Economic Council). ”
Younus is expected to meet advisors before the continuous meetings with former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia’s Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat-e-Islami.
According to the press branch of the Chief Advisor, the BNP delegation will meet the Chief Advisor at seven in the evening, while the leaders of Jamaat-e-Islami will meet at eight o’clock in the night.
A BNP spokesperson told the media, “The office of the Chief Advisor has invited us to hold a meeting on the latest political situation.”
Yunus had told the leaders of the National Citizen Party (NCP) led by students on Thursday night that he was considering resigning, as he feels that the situation is such that he cannot work. ” Earlier, he had allegedly expressed his desire to resign in a cabinet meeting held on Thursday.
