The 84-year-old economist, globally recognised as 'The Father of Microfinance,' who flew down from Paris earlier in the day, was declared as the head of the interim government by President Mohammed Shahabuddin after dissolving Parliament Tuesday, a decision prompted by a demand by the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement. Yunus had announced plans to form a political party in 2007 when the country was run by a military-backed government and criticised Bangladeshi politicians alleging they were only interested in money. He, however, did not follow through on that plan. By a quirk of fate, on Thursday he took oath to lead a non-partisan, non-military caretaker government.

Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024, 2008 Beijing medallist Vijender Singh has voiced his concerns, calling the situation a «huge conspiracy against India.» Speaking exclusively to India Today on August 7, Vijender criticised the decision that barred Phogat from competing in the gold-medal bout against Sarah Hildebrandt of the United States. Phogat was found to be 150 grams over the permissible weight limit, which led to her disqualification. Vijender expressed his frustration, suggesting that the disqualification was part of a broader scheme to undermine Indian wrestlers. “The way she has performed is worth appreciating. Maybe some people couldn’t digest the happiness. We can reduce five to six kilograms in one night, so what’s the problem with 100 grams? I feel that someone had some problems, and so the step to disqualify was taken. She should have been given a chance to reduce the 100 grams,” Vijender told India Today. The disqualification means that Vinesh, who had earlier confirmed India’s fourth medal in Paris by defeating Cuba’s Yusneylis Guzman in the semifinals, will return empty-handed. Phogat had achieved a significant victory on August 6 by ending Japan’s Yui Susaki's 82-match unbeaten streak, but her Olympic campaign was abruptly cut short.

qualification round made quite a statement but a tough challenge awaits defending champion Neeraj Chopra as he seeks another piece of history in the Paris Olympics men's javelin throw final round here on Thursday.

This time, the quality of the field is better than Tokyo with nine throwers crossing the automatic final round qualification mark of 84m in Paris as against six in Tokyo. Out of the nine, five made it to the final round with their first throws and thus will have a lot in their tanks for the medal round. The 26-year-old Chopra knows it too well, having been in the global circuit for more than eight years.
