I have no desire to get Nobel: Sheikh Hasina


Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, I am Dr. not for the Nobel Prize. Harassing Yunus. No one really has any conflict with me. I have no desire for a Nobel Prize in life. There is not enough money to hire a lobbyist to get the Nobel Prize. And I never wanted to.

He said these things during the question and answer session of the press conference organized on the recent visit to India at Ganabhaban at around 11 am on Tuesday (June 25).

Dr. Pointing to Yunus, the Prime Minister said, after signing the Chittagong Hill Tracts, many foreigners, many Nobel laureates wrote about me. I did not go to lobby. They are not even in my head. Someone who worked on economics, an MD of a bank... When he gets a Nobel Prize, why should I contest for that?

 

He said, Chittagong Hill Tract Peace Agreement was signed by me. How many peace agreements have been made in the world, how many armed people have surrendered? 1,800 armed men surrendered to me with arms. I rehabilitated them socially, economically. Today there has been development in Chittagong Hill Tracts due to the peace agreement. What was the situation there before the agreement? Could any of us go there? 64 thousand refugees were in India. I brought them back and established them.

He also said, "If someone now proposes Nobel in my name... we have not approached them." I don't really need these awards. There is a different political motive here, I have no desire here. And said that I do not have jealousy!

The head of government said that he (Dr. Yunus) wanted to form a political party, that has also been written. Why did he fail to join the party in 2007? The one who gives so much for the people of the village, why couldn't he join the party? Those people are supposed to jump into his party. They did not respond. Because they were dying of interest. What is my responsibility? And I was in jail then.

Bangabandukanya said, I am abroad... a murder case was filed against me. I decided to return home. I was told that I will not be allowed to return. I'm back What is his comparison with me? doesn't go

He said, I never said anything. I have a question, this is the foreign investment abroad, how did it happen? Where did the money come from, whose money? Give that answer. It's investing abroad while in statutory employment, what does the law say? We all raised him, that's right. Is it all my fault now? Because I gave the most money to his Grameen Bank.

The Prime Minister said, giving money to set up his Grameen Bank, floods in 1997-98... Grameen Bank went down. I paid 400 crores. The one who does more than all, his evaluation is like that! Jelasi again... What is there to do? He does not come, come to the field! come with me Let's talk. He took the most financial advantage from me.

Sheikh Hasina said, he has money, he is writing. If he is so popular, why advertise? The whole world should jump for him. A case is going on. I'm not going to talk about that.
