The Bangladesh interim government has issued a warning, stating that it will take action alongside the people if the government's ability to fulfill its responsibilities is compromised due to external influences. This statement follows escalating tensions between Bangladesh chief adviser Muhammad Yunus and the military leadership. The dispute stems from a controversial proposal regarding a "humanitarian corridor" to Myanmar and conflicting reports about Yunus considering resignation. The council of advisers emphasized the government's commitment to autonomy, reform efforts, justice, fair elections, and normal operations.
