CA Press Wing debunks India.com report on family of Prof Yunus
The report of Prof Yunus receiving millions of dollars in loans while Hillary Clinton served as the US secretary of state is also false, says the CA Press Wing
The news item published on India.com yesterday (23 January) on the family of Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus is false, said the Chief Adviser's (CA) Press Wing today (24 January).
It is "part of an India-orchestrated propaganda campaign against Bangladesh's Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, his family members, and the Interim Government of Bangladesh", the press wing said in a statement posted on its verified Facebook page CA Press Wing Facts.
It said that Prof Yunus did not donate any money to the Hillary Clinton Foundation as claimed in the post.
His friendship with the Clintons has not benefitted his daughter Monica Yunus and contrary to the claim, she never held any position in Joe Biden's administration, said the statement.
The report of Prof Yunus receiving millions of dollars in loans while Hillary Clinton served as the US secretary of state is also false, it added.
Prof Yunus also played no role in the World Bank's decision to scrap any loan deal for the Padma Bridge project, the statement read.
