Dhaka: The Chief Advisor of Bangladesh's Interim Government, Muhammad Yunus, is considering quitting from his position, reported Bangladeshi media.
National Citizen Party Convener Nahid Islam, talking to BBC Bangla, said the chief advisor was weighing resignation.
The Daily Star reported that Yunus expressed his desire to resign at an advisory council meeting in his office on Thursday and also shared his worries over rising questions about his government’s performance and duties.
Amidst rising speculation on social media, Information Advisor Mahfuj Alam, Local Government Advisor Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain, and National Citizen Party Nahid Islam convenor met Yunus on Thursday evening at his official residence.
The NCP chief stated that Yunus expressed his discomfort over the rising protests over conflicting demands.
"I cannot work like this if you, all the political parties, cannot reach a common ground," the NCP chief quoted Yunus, talking to BBC Bangla.
Nahid urged Yunus not to take such a decision in haste. He expressed his hope that Yunus would ensure unity among the parties, and everyone would cooperate with him.
