Govt is not harassing Dr Yunus with false cases: Law Minister

Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq on Thursday said the government is not harassing Noble Laureate Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus by filing false cases, reports UNB.

"The government is not doing anything to harass Dr Muhammad Yunus. No false case is being filed against him. First a case was filed by workers and then the directorate responsible for protecting the rights of the workers filed a case."

He said this at a press conference on contemporary issues at the Secretariat Thursday.

"Despite undisputable evidence, it is being spread abroad that the allegations against him (Yunus) are false, and it is being said that we are doing this to harass him," said the minister.

The minister said that the efforts being made at home and abroad to defame various institutions in Bangladesh centring on Yunus's case will fail.
