Losers and Winners in Dirty Politics

With the intervention of international community, Yunus’ matter is now getting a different shape, which gives Yunus’ opponents the opportunity to pursue the discussion on a different level, which might trigger anti-American feelings on a larger scale. It is not hard to anticipate that this may find some common ground with anti-Yunus groups and create a larger block despite the verdict of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh unless the issue is settled down earlier. US implied its first interventionist approach in the early comments, which finalized with Blake’s and others’ visits to Dhaka. The pressure from the States is increasing also because of an upcoming national screening of a documentary about Grameen America. Grameen Bank is the heart of Bangladesh. Everyone knows about that. But, same goes for America because of Grameen America. The handling of the matter affected both Government and Yunus’ side as I wrote earlier. And, Grameen is becoming a part of dirty politics at home and outside. Some wonder what the government has gained from this whole thing. Maybe, it is not that hard to see. Some like to play dirty and they are very good at it.
