After the upcoming parliamentary elections are held, Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the chief advisor to the interim government, has said that he will return to his previous workplace.

He said this in an interview with the British magazine The Economist on Friday.

Bangladesh, which recently ended 15 years of authoritarian rule, won the title of Country of the Year by the Economist magazine, which created quite a stir in the international community. The Economist met the chief advisor to get his reaction on this occasion.

In the interview, the question was asked, what will he do after the elections are held in 2025? In response, the chief advisor said, ‘My job has actually been taken away. I was forced into this job. I was doing my job and enjoying it. That is why I was in Paris. I have been pulled from there to do something else. So I will be happy to go back to my regular work, which I have done all my life. And the youth also love it. So I will go back to my party or movement that I have built all over the world.”

Responding to a question on the threat of militancy in Bangladesh, the chief advisor said, “I assure you that militancy will not rise in Bangladesh. The youth are neutral about religion. They want to build a new Bangladesh. These youth can change the whole world. It is not just a matter of changing one country or another. What Bangladesh has done is an example of how powerful the youth are.”

He added, “We should pay attention to them. Especially the young women. They played an important role in the uprising of Bangladesh. We should pay attention to the youth so that they can fulfill their dreams. Their opportunity has come. They have the capacity. The three youth who led the uprising are in my cabinet. They are doing a great job. They are capable. These youth are not the youth of the last century. They are the youth of this century. They are as capable as others.”
