Grameen Bank employees say they would campaign against the ruling parties during the next general election as a final option to protect GB.
Employees of Grameen Bank have threatened that their colleagues and families would campaign against the ruling parties in the upcoming national elections as a final recourse to protect the Nobel Prize-winning microlender.
“If the government does not give up its attempt to take over or destroy the bank, we will be forming public opinion against them during the upcoming elections, if needed. This is our final decision,” said Sagirur Rashid Chowdhury, an adviser to the Grameen Bank Employees’ Association.
Chowdhury made the warning at a press conference at Grameen Bank headquarters in Mirpur in the capital.
The briefing was organised to protest a set of planned recommendations of the Grameen Bank Inquiry Commission, which is planning to suggest to the government to split the bank either in at least 19 zones or structure it in a way that gives the government at least 51 percent share of the successful microcredit organisation.
