Nawfel: The current US government has withdrawn support for Yunus

Staff Correspondent

Former Bangladesh Awami League Organizing Secretary and Education Minister Barrister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel has commented that the current US government led by Donald Trump has withdrawn its support for Muhammad Yunus.

He made this comment in a recent interview with an Indian media outlet.

Nawfel said that for a long time, some superpowers have tried to influence Bangladesh’s internal politics. While these situations were successfully handled in the past, this time there was a deficiency in that management and some weaknesses were also seen in the management of diplomatic relations.

However, he said he did not want to blame anyone specifically for this.

He also said that everyone knows many things, including Yunus’ close relationship with Hillary Clinton and the George Soros family, and the funding he received at various times. Nawfel commented that there was some silent cooperation even though the US administration was not actively involved.

However, he sees no reason to view this as a direct role for the United States.

Regarding the current situation, Nawfel said that Yunus’ relationship with the Trump administration is not good. Because Yunus financed Hillary Clinton’s election campaign – this information is public. As a result, he also commented that the current US government’s position has changed.

Calling for attention to state governance, Nawfel said, “The most important thing now is that state institutions must fulfill the responsibilities assigned to them according to the constitution.”
