DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - The head of Bangladesh's interim government, Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, said on Thursday that his country's high growth under ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was "fake" and faulted the world for not questioning what he said was her corruption.

Md Ruhul Amin claimed that his son went India to escape harassments during Sheikh Hasina's tenure as his family was associated with BNP politics. "As my family is associated with BNP, political opponents have harassed my sons with false cases. Unable to stay at home due to their oppression, he left the country", Amin said.

Muhammad Yunus, head of Bangladesh's interim government, criticised the previous administration's allegedly fake economic growth and corruption. Yunus emphasised the importance of inclusive growth and reducing inequality.
