This is a day old, but it's a huge. If you don't know who Muhammad Yunus is, check out his Wikipedia page. Apart from winning the Nobel Peace Prize, he was also awarded various other awards such as United States Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Congressional Gold Medal, Sydney Peace Prize, World Food Prize etc. He is the founder of Grameen Bank and the pioneer of microcredit and microfinance, which helped poor people start their own businesses. Sheikh Hasina and her fascist government made various false accusations and started lawsuits against him which were baseless and politically motivated. Him now being the head of the interim government is a wonderful news.
