The Attorney General, Mahbubey Alam, said on Tuesday that the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, and Chittagong Hill Tracts Regional Council chairman Jyotirindra Bodhipriya Larma, should be given the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing peace to the hill districts by signing a peace treaty in 1997.
Why give so much importance to Yunus Nobel prize, if anybody in Bangladesh deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, they are, I will say, Sheikh Hasina and Santu Larma, because they brought peace in the hill districts where no one could enter before without the help of the army, Mahbubey Alam told reporters.
Does Hasina and Larmas not winning the Nobel Peace Prize belittle their contributions to bringing peace to Chittagong Hill Tracts? Mahbubey Alam asked.
In this context he said that Nobel laureates Mother Teresa and form South African president Nelson Mandela had won the peace prize for what they did, not for the positions or offices they held.
There was no link between Yunus winning the Nobel prize and becoming the managing director of the Grameen Bank, Mahbubey Alam said. The Nobel committee only considers someones contribution to peace.
Did Yunus Nobel certificate mention that he won the prize being a managing director, the attorney general questioned.
When asked whether Yunus activities between 1999 and 2011 should be considered valid or not, Mahbubey Alam said, The question was not raised in the present case, if any one raises the issue in future the court will answer.
In the case, the court ruled only that the Bangladesh Banks March 2 order which informed the Grameen Banks board of directors that Yunus was relieved of the responsibility was legal.
