Hasina, Santu should win Nobel Peace prize: AG
The Attorney General, Mahbubey Alam, said on Tuesday that the prime minister,
Sheikh Hasina, and Chittagong Hill Tracts Regional Council chairman Jyotirindra
Bodhipriya Larma, should be given the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing peace to
the hill districts by signing a peace treaty in 1997.
'Why give so much importance to Yunus' Nobel prize, if anybody in Bangladesh
deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, they are, I will say, Sheikh Hasina and Santu
Larma, because they brought peace in the hill districts where no one could enter
before without the help of the army,' Mahbubey Alam told reporters.
'Does Hasina and Larma's not winning the Nobel Peace Prize belittle their
contributions to bringing peace to Chittagong Hill Tracts?' Mahbubey Alam
asked.
In this context he said that Nobel laureates Mother Teresa and form South
African president Nelson Mandela had won the peace prize for what they did, not
for the positions or offices they held.
'There was no link between Yunus' winning the Nobel prize and becoming the
managing director of the Grameen Bank,' Mahbubey Alam said. 'The Nobel
committee only considers someone's contribution to peace.''Did Yunus' Nobel certificate mention that he won the prize being a managing
director,' the attorney general questioned.
When asked whether Yunus' activities between 1999 and 2011 should be
considered valid or not, Mahbubey Alam said, 'The question was not raised in
the present case, if any one raises the issue in future the court will
answer.'
In the case, the court ruled only that the Bangladesh Bank's March 2 order
which informed the Grameen Bank's board of directors that Yunus was relieved
of the responsibility was legal.
