Peace is very necessary

Says Yunus; he is ready to share his thoughts if govt wants

Staff Correspondent
Nobel laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus has said he will happily share his thoughts with the government if it wishes to hear him like different political parties did in the last two months.
"I meet them [representatives of political parties] as they come to visit
me. I am not going anywhere to give
my thoughts. If anyone from the government wants to hear me, I will certainly do that with pleasure," Yunus said when a delegation of Bangladesh Kallyan Party met him at Yunus Centre in the capital yesterday morning.

The 20-member team of BKP, a component of the BNP-led 18-party alliance, had discussions with Yunus for nearly an hour.
Different political parties have held a series of talks with the Grameen Bank founder in the last two months.
Asked to comment on Prof Yunus' offer to talk with the government, Agriculture Minister Mafia Chowdhury told The Daily Star last night, "He [Yunus] is not a political personality. Yet if he wants to say something, he may do so. Awami League will weigh what hesays.1'
Speaking at the meeting
with the BKP delegation, Prof Yunus said he thinks "if the election is held under an impartial caretaker government, it will ease the crisis and bring peace in the country."
He also urged people to have their voices heard about which system would be better for holding the election.
Yunus called upon the political leaders to take the path of peace for building a nation in which the youth can thrive. "I deeply feel that it is essential to have peace in the country for a long period.”
Urging the government and the main opposition to
start the process of establishing peace in the country, Yunus said if there is any delay in negotiations between the two sides over the election, it will give rise to conflict in the country.
Questions have been raised whether the election will be held without the participation of the opposition parties or it will be held under a non-party government, he said.
In his inaugural speech, BKP Chairman Syed Muhammad Ibrahim called upon the Grameen Bank founder to share his experience and skills with others.
