These days, the name of Mohammad Yunus is in the news at the center of the politics of violence-torn Bangladesh. After the coup of Sheikh Hasina government, Nobel Prize winner Yunus has a big responsibility. He has been chosen as the head of the interim government that is going to be formed soon in the country. His role in the formation of the new government can be that of a kingmaker. In such a situation, it is important to understand what Mohammad Yunus thinks about India and America?
It is well known that the relations between Sheikh Hasina and Mohammad Yunus were never good. Yunus has publicly said that absurd allegations have been made to harass me because I am Sheikh Hasina’s number one enemy. But his opinion about India was also not positive. He has made statements many times on the close relations between Sheikh Hasina and the Indian government.

Regarding India, Mohammad Yunus said in an interview that I have always said that India has full potential to become the best friend of Bangladesh. But still, instead of focusing on Bangladesh, India is focusing on only one person. India is related to only one person and that is Sheikh Hasina. Because of this, the people of Bangladesh are angry with India because it is supporting a person who has ruined Bangladesh.
Mohammad Yunus had also criticized India’s statement on the violence that erupted in Bangladesh. India had called the events in the neighboring country an internal matter of Bangladesh. On this, Yunus had said that India and Bangladesh are members of SAARC. In such a situation, it is sad when the current situation in Bangladesh is described as its internal matter. If a brother’s house is on fire, how can you call it an internal matter?
What is Yunus’s opinion on America?
Mohammad Yunus is considered to be a supporter of America. After he was made the head of the interim government in Bangladesh, it was said that now an American man has entered the power of Bangladesh. It was said that America’s planning of change of power in Bangladesh was successful.
According to reports, activist Vijay Patel says that Muhammad Yunus was the main architect of the change of power in Bangladesh. He has been awarded the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award. This award is funded by the Ford Foundation, which is a prestigious foundation of America.
At the same time, writer Sandeep Ghosh says that everyone knows whose script or toolkit is the appointment of Mohammad Yunus as the head of the internal government. Everyone knows whose choice he is. It was no surprise when his name came into discussion immediately after Sheikh Hasina’s resignation. He has become an advisor to the new government.
Who is Muhammad Yunus?
Known as the ‘banker to the poor’, Yunus and the Grameen Bank he founded won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize. He helped millions of people escape poverty by providing small loans of less than $100 to the poor living in villages. His lending model inspired many such schemes around the world, including in developed countries like the United States.
In the US, Yunus also started a separate non-profit organization, Grameen America. As 84-year-old Yunus became more successful, he became more inclined towards a career in politics. He also tried to form his own party in 2007. But when his ambition started taking a bigger shape, Sheikh Hasina became angry. Hasina also accused Yunus of ‘sucking the blood of the poor’.
In January this year, Yunus was sentenced to six months in prison for violating labor laws. In June, a Bangladesh court prosecuted Yunus and 13 others for embezzling 252.2 million taka ($2 million) from a welfare fund for employees of a telecom company he founded.
