UN recognises Dr. Yunus
Recently, more than two hundred of the world's wealthiest business leaders gathered at the second annual Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy at the UN. They recognised microcredit pioneer Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus and US billionaire Warren Buffett with the lifetime achievement awards.
It makes us happy that a man of our country is being shown honour in different countries of the world for his long struggle to send poverty to museum.
However, we have learnt that Buffett in his speech on the occasion jokingly referred to Steve Forbes' announcement of Muhammad Yunus as Buffett's successor as the CEO of the famous investment company Berkshire Hathaway. I think it is also a sign of honour, politely shown by Buffett, to Yunus. But the government goes against the world in this regard, which really hurts us.
