The main opposition BNP Wednesday alleged that the government was humiliating Noble laureate Muhammad Yunus just to satisfy its desire for vengeance.
“Assuming the office, the government did everything to humiliate Dr Yunus. It is destroying an international organisation like Grameen Bank,” Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, acting secretary general of the party, said at a press release.
The government’s grievances were not reduced by shutting down the path of livelihoods of 8.4m women, he said, adding that that’s why Dr Yunus was being subjected to humiliation at the hand of the government.
Fakhrul urged the government to refrain from filing cases against him.
“Dr Yunus is now humiliated and discredited by the government of his country. Now, the government seems to be making arrangement for filing case against him to humiliate him further,” he alleged.
Expressing concern, the spokesperson of the party said: “When a renowned person like Yunus is humiliated it is easily understandable how the government behaves towards the opposition party and the masses in the country.”
