DAG Losing His Job for Not Signing Statement against Dr. Yunus

The process of firing Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Imran Ahmed Bhuiyan from his job for not signing the statement against Nobel Peace Prize-winning Economist Dr. Muhammad Yunus has started.

The information was confirmed by the Solicitor Wing of the Ministry of Law on Tuesday, September 5.

On Monday, September 4, in the Supreme Court premises, Deputy Attorney General Imran Ahmed Bhuiyan said, ‘More than 160 Nobel laureates on behalf of Professor Dr. Yunus, including the former President of the United States and the former Secretary of State, have given statements that he is being subjected to judicial harassment.’ Against that, the Attorney General's Office is expected to issue a statement protesting.

Notice has been given to all those working in the Attorney General's Office to sign the statement. I have decided, I will not sign that statement, he said.

He also said, 'I agree with the statements made by 160 eminent persons on behalf of Dr. Muhammad Yunus. I think Dr. Yunus is an honorable person. His honor is defamed and it is judicial harassment.'

Former US President Barack Obama wrote a letter in support of Dr. Muhammad Yunus on August 27.

Sources from the Ministry of Law's Solicitor Wing and Attorney General's Office said that the Solicitor Wing has been instructed to start the process of dismissing Deputy Attorney General Imran Ahmad Bhuiyan from the Ministry of Law on Monday on charges of misconduct and an anti-state and anti-government stance. Accordingly, the Solicitor's office has started the process of dismissal.
