Army chief Gen WakerUz-Zaman announced that the interim government will take oath on Thursday around 8 pm. He said the advisory council may have 15 members.
General Zaman added that armed forces will provide all possible support to Yunus.
Yunus, whose name was first proposed for the top job by the coordinators of the Students Against Discrimination movement, congratulated the “brave students” who took the lead in making, what he said, “our Second Victory Day possible.”
“Let us make the best use of our new victory. Let us not let this slip away because of our mistakes,” said the 84-year-old economist, who will return home from Paris on Thursday to take charge. “I fervently appeal to everybody to stay calm. Please refrain from all kinds of violence.”
He appealed to all students, political parties and non-political people to stay calm.
“This is our beautiful country with lots of exciting possibilities. We must protect and make it a wonderful country for us and for our future generations,” he said in a statement.
“Let us not miss the chance by going into any senseless violence. Violence is our enemy. Please don’t create more enemies. Be calm and get ready to build the country,” he said. “If we take the path of violence everything will be destroyed. Please stay calm. Help those around you to stay calm.”
