What's Behind The Political Tension In Bangladesh And Will Muhammad Yunus Resign Because Of It?
Bangladesh's interim government, led by Nobel peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, faces mounting discontent among citizens and discord among political parties over its plans for elections. The interim government has yet to set a firm election date, after Yunus said national elections would be held sometime between December and June of next year. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia wants polls held by December. Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman also piled on pressure last week, by calling for elections by year-end and airing dissatisfaction over the political situation. n18oc_crux
