Dr. Yunus' decision


This is in reference with the report published in different newspapers that Nobel Prize winner Dr. Yunus announced that he had abandoned his plan to launch a political party. A few months back Dr. Yunus had launched his own political party to reform the corrupt political society and to change the fate of the oppressed people in Bangladesh. By showing some reason, Dr. Yunus had backtracked from floating his own political party.

It is a very good decision, because politics in the sub-continent is very dirty.

So, he should not involve himself in politics . He is doing the right job by

helping poor people through his Grameen Bank where millions of people are being benefited. If Dr. Yunus wants to serve the nation, politics is not necessary, he should pay more attention to the poverty alleviation programme , quality of education and health in rural areas and other development issues.

In his recent interview Dr. Yunus called for sending

poverty to museum by 2020 in Bangladesh. His call is no doubt very good because he is full of enthusiasm and courage, he can change the fate of the poor people without getting involved in politics. May his dream come true.
