[chottala.com] Dr. Younus answers to Indian Press, speaks about his relatioonship Wit h Sheiklh Hasina

Q.

Could you share your thoughts about being forced out of Grameen Bank?

A.

Well, this is kind of a painful thing. What can I say more than that? … It was totally unnecessary. It makes no sense. There is no meaning to it. But it puts Grameen Bank at risk, and that's what worries us.

My departure is not an issue. I already told the government that I want to go. I said can you put me as the chairman of the board so it'll be easy for people to accept my departure because I'm not completely leaving. I'm simply moving from an executive position to a non-executive position.

So, government has another plan. They removed me and still they couldn't find a replacement. We're worried about the future of the bank. Because after all this bank is owned by poor people. The borrowers own 97 percent of the shares of the bank and the government owns only 3 percent.

Q.

How would you characterize your relationship with Sheikh Hasina, the prime minister of Bangladesh?

A.

She never explained so I don't understand what went on, just speculation of various types in the press. One is that she feels I'm a political threat, I don't know why I'm a political threat. This is again speculation. She never said that I'm a political threat. Probably she would say, "Why should I think he's a political threat, he's not in politics. Who is he? He is nothing."

You cannot explain. We've never had a face-to-face meeting, although I've tried to seek her appointment so I could see her, but it never happened
