Bangladesh’s interim government, led by Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus, is showing signs of growing instability as two advisers, who have been representing the students since the ousting of the Sheikh Hasina government, were asked to step down.
Information and broadcasting adviser Mahfuj Alam and local government adviser Asif Mahmud Sojib Bhuyain were asked to step down ahead of the upcoming national election in February 2026, government sources told Dhaka-based Prothom Alo.
This came after the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and the Jamaat-e-Islami had asked for the removal of several advisers in the interim government, citing their suspected bias for the National Citizen Party (NCP), which was founded by leaders of the uprising against Sheikh Hasina last year
