Today, addressing Yunus, Rezaul said, "Following the mass uprising, the people of the country have entrusted you with the responsibility of leading the nation with unprecedented and unwavering support.
"Your [Yunus] duty is to honour the blood of the martyrs and the pain of the wounded. You must fulfil the vital responsibility of carrying out reforms. Ignore any pressure, non-cooperation, or obstruction from any party or individual."
