Nagorik Oikya leader Mahmudur Rahman Manna urged Chief Adviser Dr. Yunus not to consider stepping down. “The people trust him. His sense of duty to the nation won’t allow him to walk away,” Manna said. “As the executive head, he cannot favor anyone. If some have been corrupt in a short time, that’s not a reason to quit in frustration.” He acknowledged the military chief’s recent comments on elections, saying, “The election roadmap must be made clear. I hope Dr. Yunus won’t take any steps that destabilize the nation.”
