He have contacts with big names worldwide, he is even more popular than hasina worldwide. If given the chance to be there for a long time i dont think he will take it up, moreover he is 84 years old. However he is the kind of guy that wont take hesitate to resign if he finds something really offensive.
He created this grameen bank project in Bangladesh to help the poor and so that poor ladies dont have to pay a crazy amount of interest as they lose their profit in that. However there were controveries related to this and he was acused of misusing his powers by one of the previous government party politicians. He stepped down from the project soon after.
Most people are okay with him taking up the interim role, but some are still not sure if it was the right decision. At this point its better for someone neutral and highly educated like him taking this position than any of the parties. It will be terrible if it was bnp or jamat had taken up the role. These parties definately wont let the people especially minorities live in peace.
