Bangladesh Army chief unveils plan to restore ‘normalcy’ in country

Hindustan Times  

Less than two months after he took over as Bangladesh Army chief, it was left to Gen Waker-uz-Zaman to formally announce the dramatic resignation of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and unveil a plan to restore normalcy in the country of 170 million people roiled by violent protests. Zaman, who has had a stint as principal staff officer in the Prime Minister’s Office, said after consultations on Monday with leaders of Bangladesh’s political parties, excluding Hasina’s Awami League, that an interim government would be formed to restore peace and order following demonstrations across the country since last month. Read Here: Sudden escalation, losing grip caught Sheikh Hasina off-guard Zaman said he had held talks with leaders of major political parties, including Jamaat-e-Islami chief Shafiqur Rahman and top leaders of the main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party and the Jatiya Party, and would meet President Mohammed Shahabuddin to discuss the formation of the interim government.
