bdnews24.com :Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has alluded to former Grameen Bank managing director Muhammad Yunus to say he was agitated by the loss of his ‘petty post’ and ran a propaganda campaign against the government.She said this in Parliament on Wednesday while responding to an MP’s question on whether ‘any superpower’ was behind Bangladesh’s exclusion from the US’ renewed list of countries with Generalised System of Preference (GSP) facility.”Not any superpower but some domestic evil forces ran a propaganda campaign against Bangladesh when their interests were hurt.”Unfortunately, one of them was Bangladesh’s prime minister and the leader of the opposition. That person is not in any of those positions now, but leads a political party,” Hasina said, hinting at BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.Hasina said the political leader had written to the US government suggesting the suspension of Bangladesh’s GSP facilities.”That person also wrote an article in a little-known Washington-based newspaper to tarnish Bangladesh’s image.”Without naming anyone, Hasina said, “Another person did the same for a post. A bank’s MD, after losing his position following a legal battle, became so furious that he started spreading canards against the government.”E-mails, made public recently, between Yunus and former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton showed that he had desperately solicited the latter’s help to regain his control over Grameen Bank.
