CAO issues clarification over reset button comment

There was a huge discussion over a comment of Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus. It had also created mixed reactions in the political arena.

Finally, the Chief Adviser's Office (CAO) issued a clarification over the controversy over CA Prof Muhammad Yunus' "pushing the reset button" comment made during a recent interview.

CA Press wing issued a statement in this regard on Thursday (October 10).

"When Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus spoke about pressing the reset button, he meant making a new start from corrupt politics, which destroyed all Bangladesh's key institutions, pushed the economy to the brink of collapse and robbed the rights to vote and civil liberties of tens of millions of people," said the statement.

Prof Yunus did not mean wiping out Bangladesh's proud history.

"When you press the reset button, you reset the software to start all over again. It doesn't change the hardware. The 1971 Liberation War created the hardware of Bangladesh," the statement read.
