Undue remarks against Prof Yunus, Hillary
Hillary Clinton was an invited guest. Like everybody concerned about the political development of Bangladesh she made some suggestions to the Bangladesh government. But our finance minister made some arrogant comments which were insulting to the guest. He did not even hesitate to insult Prof. Yunus, the only Nobel laureate of Bangladesh. Adding insult to injury, the LGRD minister Syed Ashraful Islam questioned Yunus' competence and capability in getting the Nobel prize. He even criticised the Nobel prize committee for awarding Prof. Yunus with such a prize. According to the minister, such awards may even be obtained through manipulation. What a discovery by an immature minister of Hasina's government! We should be ashamed of such utterance. Both the ministers showed their arrogance by making such remarks which they should apologise for.
