Ansarey, who has a background in journalism, emphasised his commitment to democracy, human rights, and good governance.

“I will not mortgage my conscience. The fight for democracy, human rights, and governance will continue.”

Expressing gratitude for the trust placed in him, he added, “Working with Professor Yunus’s team is a great honour, and I will strive to honour the confidence bestowed upon me.”
