During the Clinton Global Initiative's annual meeting, Nobel laureate and Bangladesh's chief advisor Muhammad Yunus introduced the key figures behind the student protests that led to the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Yunus, invited by former US President Bill Clinton, spotlighted the student leaders, particularly Mahfuj Abdullah, as the masterminds behind the well-orchestrated movement.

The protests, which claimed over 600 lives, brought forth a 'new Bangladesh' and marked a turning point in the country's political landscape. Yunus emphasized the courage and determination of the students, who bravely faced bullets to demand change.
