Dhaka: Bangladesh’s Students Against Discrimination is advocating for Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus to serve as the adviser to the interim government, a news website said on Tuesday.

Nahid Islam, one of the main spokespersons for the student’s body, said this in a video message early Tuesday.

The interim government outline is being presented, with Dr. Yunus as the head, a news portal, Prothom Alo reported.

Dr. Yunus has agreed to take on the responsibility of saving Bangladesh, following the call of students and people, Nahid Islam said.

The protesters will not support any form of government other than a one supported by students and citizens, Islam told the UNB news agency. He also said all those killed during the protests had been declared national heroes.

On Monday, Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her sister left the official residence in the capital of Dhaka and went to a safer place outside the country and the Army announced formation of an interim government.

The former prime minister was seeking asylum in the UK.

Protests and demonstrations began in Dhaka and throughout the country after the announcement of a multi-day “non-cooperation action” with the authorities, which was launched on Sunday by the Student Movement Against Discrimination organization. Clashes between anti-government students, police, and government supporters escalated into riots.

The Bangladeshi government had imposed a curfew in Dhaka and other cities of the country from 6 pm on Monday (noon GMT) until further notice. Tuesday and Wednesday have been declared holidays nationwide.
