Modesty and character assassination
By any definition, the ruling government has presided over a character assassination of Dr Yunus. Our politicians indulge in character assassination as standard operating procedure. Now, suddenly, the government is concerned about the possible character assassination of its wealthiest supporters. What false modesty! Who are they trying to fool? Simply being able to say something at a press conference does not make it true. It seems our politicians think that the public lives in another country with no knowledge of what actually goes on in Bangladesh! The public knows the ugly truth but the public is, as usual, helpless in the face of the cabals that have a stranglehold on our politics.
