Dr Yunus does not intend to be declared as national reformer

The interim government stated that Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus does not intend to be declared as national reformer and the government too does not has any plan to confer any such title on him.

Chief Adviser (CA) press wing issued a statement in this regard on Tuesday (July 15).

“It has come to the attention of the government that a bench of the High Court Division has issued a rule, following a writ petition, asking as to why Professor Muhammad Yunus should not be declared as "national reformer". The government will respond to the rule in due course after receiving a copy of the order,” the statement said.

The writ petitioner appears to have filed the petition on his own, and it is unclear on what basis the direction has been sought. The office of the Attorney General will address the matter,” it added.
