Has Bangladesh’s new PM named student leaders to his cabinet? | Explainer News
Newly sworn-in Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman appointed two student leaders, Nurul Haque Nur and Zonayed Abdur Rahim Saki (known as Zonayed Saki), to his 49-member cabinet. Nur, who gained prominence during the 2018 antijob-quota movement, and Saki, a prominent left-leaning leader, were not affiliated with the BNP but are key figures in the student-led uprising of July 2024 that ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Political analysts believe their appointments reflect the BNP's commitment to its alliance partners and recognition of their contributions to the uprising.
