Bangladesh Interim Govt To Be Sworn in Thursday Night: Army Chief Waker-Uz-Zaman

Bangladesh Army Chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman says interim government, headed by Nobel laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus, will take oath on Thursday. 

Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, General Waker said the interim government is likely to be sworn in at 8:00pm on Thursday.

He also said the advisory council may have 15 members.

Yunus, the 84-year-old economist, was on Tuesday appointed as the head of interim government by President Mohammed Shahabuddin, a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country following deadly protests against her government over a controversial quota system in jobs.
