Army chief says the interim government headed by the Nobel Peace laureate would be sworn in on Thursday night.
Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel Peace laureate tapped to lead an interim government in Bangladesh, has called for calm as he boarded a flight to return home, a day before his new government is expected to be sworn in to replace deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Yunus, 84, was picked by President Mohammed Shahabuddin to lead the new interim government, a key demand of student demonstrators whose uprising drove Hasina, 76, to flee to India on Monday.
“I am looking forward to going back home, see what’s happening and how we can organise ourselves to get out of the trouble we are in,” he told reporters before boarding a flight at Paris’s Charles de Gaulle airport for Dubai where he was to connect to Dhaka.
