Who All Are Bangladesh’s Interim Government’s Ministers?

Bangladesh’s interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus as the chief advisor, was sworn in on Thursday evening by President Mohammed Shahabuddin. This came just three days after the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League government, which was ousted by student-led anti-quota protests that grew into a mass movement and forced her to leave the country. Yunus will be supported by a 16-member advisory council in this caretaker government. Among the members are Asif Mahmud and Nahid Islam, two key organizers of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.

The advisory council members are:

  1. Syeda Rizwana Hasan
  2. Farida Akhtar
  3. Adilur Rahman Khan
  4. AFM Khaled Hossain
  5. Nurjahan Begum
  6. Sharmeen Murshid
  7. Faruk-e-Azam
  8. Nahid Islam
  9. Asif Mahmud
  10. Salehuddin Ahmed
  11. Prof Asif Nazrul
  12. Hasan Arif
  13. Brigadier General (retired) M Sakhawat Hossain
  14. Supradip Chakma
  15. Prof Bidhan Ranjan Roy
  16. Touhid Hossain

Three members – Chakma, Roy, and Azam – were absent from the ceremony as they were outside Dhaka, according to The Daily Star. The oath-taking event took place at Bangabhaban, the official residence and primary workplace of the President of Bangladesh, located in the capital.
