"He (Yunus) didn't say he will leave. He said that while we face many obstacles in carrying out the work and responsibilities assigned to us, we are overcoming them," Planning Adviser Wahiduddin Mahmud told reporters after an unscheduled meeting of the advisory council.

“He (Yunus) is definitely staying,” Mahmud said.

He said none of the advisers were going anywhere as “the responsibility entrusted to us is a significant one; we cannot abandon this duty.”
