The Yunus Controversy

     I was shocked with an item, published recently in News, where an organisation dared suggesting the arrest of Muhammad Yunus, the  sole Nobel laureate from our country.
     Yunus winning the Nobel Prize spread the name for our country across the world. It is astonishing that Omar should suggest his arrest , where the finance minister himself said the so-called grant could have been transferred with the donor's consent.
      Such suggestions create nothing but chaos and anarchy while contributing nothing to alleviate the suferings of the people. Only jealousy can explain such propositions.If I were in your place, I should have ignored it and would not have published it all. 
      It is strongly recommended that responsible journalism should not forget to highlight the other side of the coin while criticising Yunus and microcredit.
