Fakhruddin Ahmed becomes caretaker chief, curfew lifted Fakhruddin Ahmed becomes caretaker chief, curfew lifted
Former Bangladesh Bank governor Fakhruddin Ahmed was sworn in Friday evening as the new chief of the caretaker government. Leaders of the mega alliance including Sheikh Hasina, H M Ershad and A Q M Badruddoza Chowdhury attended the 7pm ceremony at the Bangabhaban. BNP leaders including Khaleda Zia did not attend.
The police Friday lifted a late night-to-early morning curfew. The withdrawal of the curfew eased tensions in the capital and other parts of the country that went through months of violent street protests by the Awami League and allies. In an evening announcement, Awami League General Secretary Abdul Jalil said the mega-alliance called off all street protests. |
