DHAKA: Violent anti-govt protests returned to the streets of Dhaka, but this time against the interim administration headed by Muhammad Yunus.
Hundreds of govt employees, demanding implementation of the Ninth National Pay Scale and raising slogans - such as "there is no rice in the stomach, development is only in words" and "injustice will be washed away with blood"- against Yunus, marched through the Bangladesh capital as police used tear gas, water cannons and sound grenades to disperse them. But the worst scenes of clashes were from outside chief adviser Yunus's official residence 'Jamuna' - the first protest directly targetting Yunus.
