The caretaker government in Bangladesh is committed to ensuring a transition to inclusive and pluralistic democracy and creating an environment in which “free, fair and participatory elections” can be held, its head Mohammad Yunus assured the international community on Saturday. Yunus, the chief advisor of the interim government, said while addressing the third Voice of Global South Summit which was hosted by India in a virtual format.

“You all are aware that Bangladesh witnessed a ‘Second Revolution’ on August 5, 2024, through a mass uprising spearheaded by our valiant students and joined by the masses,” the 84-year-old Nobel laureate said, referring to the political turmoil in his country and the resignation of PM Sheikh Hasina.
