Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus is reportedly contemplating stepping down from his position, amid the deepening political deadlock and a growing sense of frustration over the lack of cooperation among the country’s political parties. This revelation came through Nahid Islam in an interview with BBC Bangla, following a personal meeting with Yunus at his residence. According to Nahid, the Chief Adviser shared his growing concerns about his ability to continue fulfilling his responsibilities effectively in the absence of political consensus. He expressed feelings of helplessness, suggesting that without united support from the political sphere, it would be extremely difficult to move forward.

In response, Nahid strongly urged Yunus to remain in his role for the sake of the country’s future and to honor the aspirations of the mass uprising that led to his appointment. However, the adviser’s doubts come at a time when his government has encountered a series of significant setbacks in a short span of just 36 hours, further shaking confidence in its stability and direction.

These challenges include a rare and public statement by the army chief advocating for elections to be held in December, which appeared to sidestep the government’s authority. Additionally, the High Court rejected a move to block Ishraque Hossain’s appointment as mayor, weakening the administration’s stance. Adviser Mahfuj Alam had to issue a public apology over controversial remarks he made, drawing further criticism. Compounding these issues, the finance ministry reversed a major reform initiative proposed by the National Board of Revenue, undermining policy coherence. Moreover, Human Rights Watch issued strong criticism of the government’s recent ban on the Awami League and its harsh treatment of the party’s supporters, casting international doubt on the caretaker administration’s commitment to democratic principles.

Together, these events have significantly heightened the uncertainty surrounding Muhammad Yunus’s leadership and raised serious questions about the future of the caretaker government.
