Bangladesh President Mohammed Shahabuddin reveals his intention to resign after the February parliamentary elections, citing humiliation by the Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus-led interim government. The 75-year-old president, who became the sole constitutional authority after former PM Sheikh Hasina fled during student protests, claims his portraits were removed from embassies and his press department was taken away during the seven months without meeting Yunus.
