Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus on Sunday left a letter for the people, before leaving for Kolkata, in which he sought support for his latest venture — a new-generation political party as an alternative to the country’s outworn politics.
A micro-credit leader, Yunus said if the letter failed to gain strong feedback, he wouldn’t enter into the arena of politics.
He distributed copies of the letter among reporters who went to Zia International Airport to cover his departure for India on the second eventful trip to the neighboring country for over a week.
Basking in world fame following the winning of Nobel peace prize for his contribution to poverty alleviation, Yunus, the founder of Grameen Bank, left for Kolkata to receive ‘Shera Bangali -2006’ Award.
