Should we feel pride or guilt over this incident, asked Dr Muhammad Yunus, founder of Grameen Bank.
He said, “How did we give birth to such a child? Or why did we make such a child such a criminal? We have no respite from these questions.”
Dr Muhammad Yunus, who currently serves as the chairman of Grameen Telecom, surrendered before the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Special Judge Mohammad As-Shams Jaglul Hossain on Sunday afternoon and sought bail in a money laundering case. The court passed the bail order.
Later Dr. Yunus spoke to the media in the court premises. “It is not limited to here, not even within the country,” he said. The whole world is keeping an eye on the trial and its results. They are watching in detail what we are doing.”
Requesting journalists to take photographs of the moment, Dr. Muhammad Yunus said, “Anti-Corruption Commission, Botola… This is a historic event. It will be covered in newspapers and written about in many books for a long time in the future.”
