Bangladesh Violence: The long-running student protest demanding the abolition of the quota system for government jobs in Bangladesh turned violent on Sunday. So far, about 100 people, including 14 policemen, have lost their lives. A large number of people have also been injured. Seeing such a situation in the country, Bangladeshi economist and Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has expressed concern.
India refuses to comment on Bangladesh protests
Last month, India refused to comment on the ongoing protests in Bangladesh. Also, Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal refused to comment on the ongoing protests in Bangladesh, saying, “We consider it a domestic matter of Bangladesh.” Therefore, Mohammad Yunus expressed displeasure over India's response and said, “This turmoil in Bangladesh can also spread to neighboring countries.”
'What if your brother's house catches fire…'
Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus said in an interview, 'I feel sad when India says that this is a domestic matter. If your brother's house catches fire, how can you call it a domestic matter? Many things come into diplomacy and it cannot be said that this is their domestic issue. In Bangladesh, which has a population of 17 crore, people are facing conflict, youth are being killed by government forces and law and order is deteriorating. The turmoil in Bangladesh will not be limited to its borders but it will also affect the neighboring countries.'
Who is Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus?
Yunus founded Grameen Bank in 1983. In which loans were given to the poor to start their own small industries. So that millions of people of Bangladesh could be brought out of poverty. Yunus was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for his work.
While Sheikh Hasina has accused Yunus of sucking the blood of the poor, she also says that the Grameen Bank started by Yunus charges excessive interest from the poor. Therefore, a corruption case was registered against Yunus recently.
