Bangladesh was experiencing a “student-led revolution” after the ouster of premier Sheikh Hasina, the South Asian country’s new interim leader Muhammad Yunus said.<\/p>\n

“This is a revolution, a student-led revolution,” the Nobel laureate told a news briefing.\u00a0“There’s no doubt about (that) because the business of the whole government collapsed.”<\/p>\n

Yunus arrived back in Bangladesh from Europe on Thursday after he was called by the student leaders of the protests that toppled Hasina and asked to steer democratic reforms.<\/p>\n

“I said, ‘I respect you, I admire you. What you have done is absolutely unparalleled’,” he said.<\/p>\n

“‘Because you ordered me to do this, I take your order’,” Yunus said he told them.<\/p>\n

Several top allies of Hasina, whose iron-fisted tenure ended with her abrupt resignation and flight to India a week ago, subsequently stepped down.<\/p>\n

Among them were the former chief justice of the Supreme Court and the central bank governor.<\/p>\n

They had been issued ultimatums to quit their posts by students.\u00a0Yunus said their resignations had been conducted legally.<\/p>\n

“I’m sure they will find the legal way to justify all of this, because legally… all the steps were followed,” he said.<\/p>\n

Yunus made the comments at an off-the-record media briefing on Sunday night at a state building being used as a temporary seat of government.\u00a0His office agreed to their publication on Monday evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
