An emergency meeting of the advisory council of the interim government will be held at 8:00 pm on Saturday, according to local news portals.

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus will preside over the meeting at the State Guesthouse Jamuna in Dhaka.

Cabinet secretary Sheikh Abdur Rashid confirmed the development, without giving information about the agenda of the meeting.

However, the meeting will be held to discuss the draft on the amendments to International Crimes (Tribunals) Act.

"There is no other issue so far I know. The meeting will only discuss the draft amendments to the ICT Act," a senior official of the interim government said.
