Yunus, Fazle Hasan
Dilip Barua's remarks condemned
Bikalpa Dhara Bangladesh (BDB) Secretary General Maj (retd) Abdul Mannan yesterday strongly condemned Industries Minister Dilip Barua's remarks about Nobel Laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus and Brac Chairperson Sir Fazle Hasan Abed.
Dilip on Friday criticised the duo for pointing out the importance of the caretaker government (CG) system to US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and urged them to check their popularity in politics before talking on the caretaker government issue.
In a statement, Mannan said the comment regarding the two 'eminent personalities' was 'unexpected' and 'ill-mannered'.
"Although Dilip is a veteran politician, he has no record of winning any election. He has been appointed minister under technocrat quota. A person, who is failed to check his own popularity, is not befit to give such an advice."
"I think, those two eminent persons have not done any wrong talk on favour of the country and countrymen," said Mannan.
He also suggested Dilip to remain alert in making any comment regarding the country's eminent personalities in future.
