New Delhi, Jan 31: Nobel laureate and chief architect of 'Grameen Bank' Muhammad Yunus today said if circumstances force him, he would not shy away from joining Bangladesh's politics.
"I am not a person who is comfortable with politics but if circumstances force, I will join politics", Yunus told reporters here.
He, however, clarified that becoming the President was not an exciting news because it had no power, it is a decorative post.
And I am not psychologically comfortable with somebody
who does not have anything to do, he said.
There was a lot of talk about it, Nobel Peace Prize winner said, "But I kept away from politics because once you get into you are sucked into it."
He said, there were two diverse opinions in Bangladesh about him joining the government.
"One section is of view that i should not join the government while the other section is of the view that I should enter into politics," he said.
"They say that we would have somebody in politics to look up to," he added.
On the political scenario of Bangladesh, Yunus said, the country had gone through a rough patch and had almost reached to the stage of political disaster.
But that had been stopped by imposition of emergency and with the caretaker government acceptable to people coming to power, he said.
