ai generated text

Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has been appointed to head a caretaker administration in Bangladesh following the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The decision was made at a meeting between President Mohammed Shahabuddin, military leaders, and student leaders from the Students Against Discrimination group. Yunus is expected to return from Paris, where he was advising Olympic organizers, to take on the role. The appointment comes after a mass uprising led by students, which has resulted in the deaths of over 440 people.

    1. Human development outcomes improved in many dimensions, including reductions in child mortality and stunting, and increases in literacy rates and access to electricity.
    1. If this situation doesn't come under control, mentally be prepared to give refuge to 10 million Hindu refugees. If the situation is not controlled there, Jamaat and radicals will take control.
    1. If action is needed in Bangladesh, for my country and for the courage of my people, then I will take it.
    2. People are celebrating on the street and millions and millions of people all over Bangladesh [are] celebrating as if this is our liberation day.
    3. Violence is our enemy. Please don't create more enemies. Be calm and get ready to build the country.
    4. India is our best friend ... people are angry at India because you are supporting the person who destroyed our lives.
    1. We urge the president to take steps as soon as possible to form an interim govt headed by Dr Yunus.
    2. No govt other than the one proposed by the students will be accepted. As we have said, no military govt, or one backed by the military, or a govt of fascists, will be accepted.
    3. We wouldn't accept any army-supported or army-led government.
    1. We are very delighted to say that Dr. Yunus has agreed to accept this challenge to save Bangladesh as per our students' request.
    1. The new government must have cooperative relations with India as a hostile Indian government could be a spoiler, causing problems for Bangladesh.
    2. He must establish civilian control and supremacy early on and make sure that the army goes back to its normal role of supporting the civilian administration.
