“PM's press secy. protests statement,” (July 20, 2013)

So did she or did she not make those comments in that "informal" meeting? That is not clear from the rejoinder. Secondly, if the papers were wrong, then why didn't the PM issue a rejoinder to disclaim it as the comment did carry quite grave allegations and surely have a negative impact on government's international relations?

The protest from the prime minister through her press secretary is obviously based on their blind assumption that people are all fools except a few of them in power.

So all the DS commentators did in fact react on the “unsubstantiated” and “completely baseless” information and apprehension! It is like “we ran behind the flying eagle” before checking anything. Unfortunately, the Yunus Centre spent so much energy by running so long. Thank God, nothing is lost and everything looks okay. The PM's PS made it clear that “the government has no intention to belittle the Nobel laureate” and Bangladesh's deep and friendly relations with Norway and the US will remain intact in the future.

The PM's comments as reported in TDS on July 12 were as usual compared to other comments she had made publicly in the past on Prof. Yunus. And we treated this particular one as 'the first day Ramadan greetings' to Prof. Yunus from Sheikh Hasina! However, now that the PM's press secretary has protested Yunus Centre's rejoinder as baseless, are we to assume that the AL minister / lawmaker, who confided to TDS about Sheikh Hasina's comments on Prof. Yunus at the high level meeting, is a liar?
