    He unintentionally pointed out the government's inability. Now he is being persecuted for being better Period
  • Hello, Bloomberg. If the Prime Minister required votes to remain in power, she would have surely accepted your interview request. She presides over an authoritarian regime, so there's no need for her to maintain a favorable image in Bloomberg as she doesn't rely on votes. We are ranked 10th globally in corruption. I urge you to conduct an in-depth investigation to rescue Dr. Yunus and the people of Bangladesh from her governance. You can also cover Bangladesh's recent student movements. People are dying.
  • @JonathanBurac
    Hasina declining an interview goes to show that she does not care what others say as long as she stays in power.
  • @MohdBelal-xz9ou
    Political crisis in Bangladesh is severe pm Sheikh Hasina is responsible.
  • @mediaevalmonster
    Hasina is not competent enough to be PM. She is bitter, emotional and she is consumed by jealousy. She is even a bad dictator.
  • @shomrat007
    According to my opinion, everything has done against Muhammad Yunus out of jealousy. I don't know , Why Authoritarian Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina can't tolerate him as Professor Yunus never ever is a vocal critique of her and her regime. Since my childhood, I have been seeing that Grameen Bank offers loans to the people. In my rural areas, many people including my family has taken loans from the bank and changed their lives.
  • Not only was Sir Yunus harassed by the current dictator, but also every person in my country was harassed by the dictator. Within a few days, the dictator killed the 5 students during the student protest by using the Police force and the so-called Chatra League (terrorist organization). There is shameful for Bangladeshi people, that those Police forces work in UN peacekeeping. So, please represent the current student protest through your channel to learn about our struggles.
  • @rayhans7887
    He is being persecuted for hurting Hasina's ego
  • @mudichanpin
    Hasina took all the money from different national banks, for example Basic bank, Islami bank, Sonali bank, BD bank etc. Then refilled these banks from people’s money. Which made inflation worse, affected 100 millions of poor people. This Hasina is not only bad for Bangladesh people but also bad for the welfare of the whole world.
  • Normally I don’t think anyone’s is pro rich businessman but I mean in this case this man appears to a beneficial part of the countries economic system
  • @Paranoidyash
    If Bangladesh is becoming authoterian, its a big concern for neighbouring nations.
  • @MithunOnTheNet
    Just another story of yet another leader with a massive ego, who has stayed in power for too long and doesn't want to let go of her power, and is seeking to destroy her oppoonents!
  • @Minhaj55555
    Hasina Had never been behind our economic growth or what good we have achieved. Rather tireless works from our expatriates and readymade garments worker contributed to our economy directly. Why should you give credits to a dictator?
  • @andreylucass
    After all, can they prove the bank interest rates are higher than usual? It looks very easy to find this answer.
  • @EHRafi
    Sheikh Hasina is now attacking the quota protestors. Please make a video about that we need international attention to this matter.
  • @niloyrahman5586
    So, instead of showing any actual detailed information about the cases against Yunus, you guys just showed what the two sides involved say against each other. This video isn't on the Controversial Cases Against Yunus, but on the aftereffects of the cases
  • @RayanBDHK
    Great report. Dr. Yunus is widely respected and he has helped many people out of poverty. He can flee anytime and anywhere, but he chooses not to.
