Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Advisor of the Interim Government, has stated that Sheikh Hasina should be brought back to the country and put on trial.

He made this comment on Wednesday, September 25, in response to a question from journalists at an event in New York, USA.


Dr. Yunus is currently in the United States to attend the United Nations General Assembly session.

Regarding the election in Bangladesh, the Chief Advisor said he does not have a timeline for when it will be held. He expects that the commissions formed will provide reform recommendations in the coming months, after which an election date will be set.

When asked if Sheikh Hasina would be brought back from India, Dr. Yunus responded, "Why not?" He added that if she has committed a crime, she should be brought back and face trial.

Dr. Yunus also mentioned that he has no plans to run in the election. He countered with a question, "Do I look like someone who would run in an election?"

On Wednesday, Dr. Yunus attended the "Climate Forward" summit organized by the American media outlet The New York Times in New York. At the summit, he stated that as long as the world remains stuck in the current economic system, the Paris Agreement on climate change will not be effective.


The Paris Agreement was made with the goal of limiting the impact of climate change and became effective globally in 2016.
