The United States Senator Richard Joseph Durbin has warned Bangladesh that its failure to end the vendetta against Nobel laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus would negatively impact the bilateral partnership.
In a post on social media platform X early Thursday (Bangladesh time), he wrote that the US valued its relationship with Bangladesh and appreciated its help to Rohingyas.
‘But a failure to end the vendetta against Muhammad Yunus will negatively impact that partnership,’ he wrote referring to a meeting with Bangladesh ambassador to the US Muhammad Imran.
‘In my meeting with Mr Imran, I called for an end to the harassment of Prof Yunus,’ said Joseph Durbin, who also chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The US senator shared a photo of his meeting with the Bangladesh ambassador to the US.
