    The interim government consists of economists, former policymakers, former retired judges and former members of the army.

    An interim government will take over the governance of a restive Bangladesh as the nation recovers from deadly anti-government protests which forced Bangladesh’s embattled prime minister Sheikh Hasina to flee Dhaka on Monday.

    Bangladesh’s army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman said in a broadcast to the nation on state television Hasina had resigned and the military would form a caretaker government.

    “The country has suffered a lot, the economy has been hit, many people have been killed — it is time to stop the violence,” said Waker, dressed in military fatigues, shortly after jubilant crowds stormed and looted Ganabhaban, the Bangladesh prime minister’s official residence.

    Eminent jurists, a former chief justice, a former UN representative and economist, a former governor of the nation’s central bank and a Dhaka University professor are among the 29 people who have been summoned by the army to discuss the formation of the interim government.

    Dr Asif Nazrul, a Dhaka University professor, who is likely to be a part of the interim government, told students to maintain peace. “I hope there is great news for you. I also request the students, the public and the youth to maintain peace and patience. This country is ours. From now on, we will move in the right direction,” Nazrul said.
