The decision was made in a meeting with President Mohammed Shahabuddin, the heads of the army, navy and air force, and student leaders, the president's office said in a statement. Yunus had travelled abroad earlier this year after he was sentenced to six months jail for the labour charge -- but was immediately bailed pending appeal.There are few other details about the planned government, including the role of the military, but Yunus has said he wants to hold elections"within a few" months.
Monday's events were the culmination of more than a month of unrest, which began as protests against a plan for quotas in government jobs but morphed into an anti-Hasina movement. The head of the police force, which protesters have blamed for leading Hasina's crackdown, was sacked on Tuesday, the president's office said in the statement announcing Yunus as leader.
Since Tuesday, streets in the capital have been largely peaceful -- with shops opening and international flights resuming at Dhaka airport -- but government offices remained mostly closed.
