BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi has said the verdict against Nobel Laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus has been a stage-managed verdict recommended by the Ganabhaban.
Protesting the verdict during a virtual conference on Monday, Rizvi said, "Dr Yunus was subjected to the vengeance of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the entire nation was ashamed of this judgment."
He said Dr Yunus was sentenced to six months` jail through a dictated verdict by Sheikh Hasina`s court in a so-called case over violation of labour law.
Condemning the Labour Court`s verdict, Rizvi said, "Sheikh Hasina`s continuous criticism and threats against Dr Yunus prove that the verdict has been given out of political vengeance."
"It has been clear that a conspiracy was hatched against Dr Yunus ever since Sheikh Hasina threatened to kill Khaleda Zia and Nobel laureate by dropping them into water off the Padma Bridge during a rally on 18 May 2022," added Rizvi.
He further added, "The Awami League masterminds responsible for crores of taka, bank looting, and loan defaulting are walking free, but individuals like Dr Yunus, who are a pride of the nation, are sentenced in stage-managed verdicts."
"Dr Yunus, who is the pride of the nation, was sentenced by a well-orchestrated verdict," he added.
