Industries Minister Dilip Barua yesterday hit back at barrister Rafique ul Huq for his comment that the minister is not worthy of even Prof Yunus' nail.
“I fully agree with his [Rafique] remark. Because I could not achieve the quality of sucking blood of the country's general people like Dr Muhammad Yunus' Grameen Bank to own crores of taka," said the minister in a press statement.
“My political ideology is to serve people,” said Dilip, also general secretary of Bangladesher Samyabadi Dal, a component of the ruling Awami League-led grand alliance.
According to him, Rafique ul Haq does not know that many have lost their lands and houses to repay the Grameen Bank loan while some others have committed suicide failing to pay back the money.
In an apparent effort to ridicule the Nobel Laureate, Dilip invited Yunus to enter politics to check his popularity.
On Saturday, eminent lawyer Rafique said, “With due respect for Dilip Barua, I want to say that he is not worthy of Dr Yunus' nail even.”
Dilip Barua had on Friday sharply criticised Prof Yunus for raising the caretaker government issue before US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her 5-6 May Dhaka visit.
