Muhammad Yunus raises hopes for peace in Bangladesh | DW News

Bangladesh's new care-taker leader, Muhammad Yunus, has praised the students who overthrew the country's authoritarian government. Arriving home at Dhaka airport, he said they'd saved Bangladesh - and given the nation a second independence. But he warned this new-found freedom needed to be protected. The Nobel Peace Prize winner spent the last few days in France for medical treatment. He - and his cabinet - will be sworn in in the coming hours. We spoke to student activist Prapti Taposhi, and journalist Mainul Islam Khan.

A good lesson for Indian government and politicians.
They never dealt with Bangladesh or Bangladeshi, they dealt with Awamileage. They backed Awamileage unethical and illegal way.
We took the revenge of fifty years. Along with that, we also gave lesson for thousand years.
Don't try to play with Bangladesh.
By the way, thanks to Indian students and public who stood with us.

Love from India for a better future, but at the same time, feeling ashamed as Indian politics is getting involved in foreign affairs and spreading misinformation through Indian media.

It is an Interim Government, not Caretaker.
The purpose of this government is to reform all of the government institutions that were politicized by the Awami League government.
Also Sheikh Hasina should be punished.
