Yunus-led interim govt may rule Bangladesh beyond 3 months. Think 2006-08 & 'Doctrine of Necessity'

With 15-member interim govt led by Muhammad Yunus set to be sworn in, academics & journalists in Bangladesh say its term may extend beyond 3 months as mandated by constitution.

The article from ThePrint discusses the political and legal challenges faced by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus in Bangladesh, where he is accused of labor law violations and tax evasion.
