AMA Muhit, Finance Minister of Government of Bangladesh in a reaction said that the comment of Hillary on Grameen Bank is unwarranted. He told that Grameen Bank is a Government establishment and Government, not this government but a Bangladesh government founded this bank decades ago and he is one of the founders of bank. Government contributed to the growth of Grameen not the foreign powers.

He expressed that what Dr. Yunus is telling about Grameen is totally rubbish that Grameen Bank is at stake. He asked to see last one year under government and said that the bank ran smoothly during the period.
