The country’s interim leader also cautioned against those aiming to undo national achievements.

DHAKA: Bangladesh’s interim leader on Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary since the overthrow of the autocratic regime of Sheikh Hasina by calling for people to seize the “opportunity” of reform.

But Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, the 85-year-old who is leading the caretaker government as its chief adviser until elections are held, also warned against those he said sought to roll back gains made.

“Today marks an unforgettable chapter in the history of Bangladesh,” Yunus said, marking a day he said had led to “liberating our beloved nation from the grip of long-standing fascist rule”.
