Wow, he made this speech 9 years ago. He’s now the head of the interim government in Bangladesh. Guess what, he selected two young adults in their 20s as members of his cabinet. Man really stood by his words.

No matter what people think about Dr Younus, doing something and thinking like this great personality in a country like Bangladesh where the ruling party that claims Bangladesh to be a democratic country without their being elected by the commons is undeniably next to impossible, despite this, Dr Younus, our pride, has been able to achieve world's most prestigious prize --- Nobel peace prize ---- in the midst of this hellish situation of the country. Those criticising him should be able to put their names in the primary list of Nobel Prize before saying anything negative of him.

He is now the Adviser of Revolutionary Students for Independent Bangladesh.
