Eminent jurist Barrister Rafique-ul Huque has strongly criticised LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam for his remarks ridiculing Nobel laureate Prof Mohammad Yunus. "What a stupid country we live in! Holding such a significant position of a major political party, he (Ashraf) has said that one has to pacify a region to get a Nobel Peace Prize," the former attorney general said at a function in the city on Saturday.
"There's no work more heinous than to dishonour a respected person," said the senior lawyer. He was addressing a discussion organised by Muktochinta Forum, a human rights organisation, at Bangladesh Photojournalists Association auditorium on the country's recent political scenario, forced disappearances and abductions.

Ashraf, also the general secretary of the Awami League, at a function at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre, in presence of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, on Thursday raised questions about the justification of awarding Grameen Bank founder Prof Yunus the Nobel Peace Prize. "His [Prof Yunus] basic subject was economics. But he didn't get Nobel Prize in Economics. He got Nobel Prize in Peace without pacifying any region."
He went on to say: "Many of the people present here better know how Nobel Prize is given." Rafiqul on Saturday also came down hard on Industries Minister Dilip Barua for sniping at Dr Yunus and BRAC Chairman Sir Fazle Hasan Abed. "I say, with due respect to him, he is worth nothing compared to Yunus."
Barua addressing a discussion organised by Bangabandhu Academy at the National Press Club on Friday came down heavily on them for their suggestion for holding the next general election under a caretaker administration. "Come, get involved in politics if you (Yunus) want to talk on the caretaker issue," the minister had said.
