Political Earthquake in Bangladesh: Mohammad Yunus Calls Emergency Meeting Amid Resignation Buzz

International News: Bangladesh is currently going through a serious political crisis. The speculation of the resignation of Nobel Peace Prize winner and interim government chief Mohammad Yunus has deepened the country's political instability. In this stressful atmosphere, Yunus convened an emergency meeting of the Advisory Council on Saturday, further airing the discussions.

Is Mohammad Yunus going to resign?

For the last few days, the discussion has intensified in the political corridors that Mohammad Yunus has made up his mind to leave the post. Due to the non-cooperation of the opposition and the increasing pressure of the army, it is becoming difficult for them to run the rule day by day. According to sources, Younus recently told the student leaders that he was seriously considering the resignation.

However, after the emergency meeting, Planning Advisor Wahiduddin Mahmood, while trying to put a stop to these speculations, said, "Nobody is resigning. Younus is with us and all the advisors are fulfilling their responsibility."

Army vs Yunus on election date

Differences between the interim government and the army on the date of the general election have now taken the shape of conflict. While Mohammad Yunus is talking about holding elections till 2026 June, Army Chief General Walker-e-Zaman says that elections should be held till December 2025.

This confrontation is not only hindering administrative functions, but is also questioning the legitimacy and political stability of the interim government.

Meeting BNP and Jamaat: solution or strategy?

Prior to the emergency meeting, Mohammad Yunus met the leaders of the opposition party Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Jamaat-e-Islami. The meeting is seen as a possible dialogue for deteriorating political situation and electoral consent in the country.

Yunus's press secretary Shafiqul Alam confirmed the meeting, although the agenda of the meeting was not made public. Political experts believe that Yunus wants to reduce the pressure on the interim government by gathering the support of the opposition through this dialogue.

Opposition on roads, increase in public dissatisfaction

The protests of opposition parties in the capital Dhaka have increased the difficulties of the interim government. On Thursday, BNP supporters demanded thousands of roads and declared the date of immediate election.

The opposition says the election announcements made by Mohammad Yunus are unclear and unacceptable. Meanwhile, there is also increasing dissatisfaction in the public and the demand for Yunus's resignation has intensified. These demonstrations are raising serious questions on the validity and public support of the government.

Yunus: Guiders of democracy or protector of power?

Yunus's close advisor Faiz Ahmed Tayyab wrote on social media that Yunus is not in the fascination of power, but is responsible for democratic stability. This statement presents Yunus's image as a 'transitional guide'.

The interim politics of Bangladesh stands at a delicate turn at this time. Mohammad Yunus's role remains decisive - they are trying to balance between power and streets. Although he has refused to leave the post at the moment, the coming weeks will decide whether the country will move towards democracy or will be stuck in a deep crisis.
