Bangladesh interim government chief Mohammed Yunus on Sunday admired the “student-led revolution” that led to the collapse of government machinery.
Taking a jibe at Sheikh Hasina‘s ouster from the country, the Nobel laureate said, “Finally, this moment, the monster is gone.”
“This is a revolution, a student-led revolution,” the 84-year-old said about the protests that killed over hundreds in clash between the authorities and the demonstrators.The protests started out as a student demonstration against the preferential quota system in government jobs.
“There’s no doubt about (that) because the business of the whole government collapsed,” he added.
Talking about the difficulties the interim government was facing, Yunus said, “The moment you start taking decisions, some people will like your decisions, some people will not like your decisions,” he said. “Obviously, that’s the way it works.”
Yunus took oath as the chief of the interim government last week after the protesting students forced Sheikh Hasina to flee. Hasina has taken refuge in India.
