Is Dr Yunus is seeing only half of the whole? Certainly the answer is yes. Because, he could not see and mention about the unconstitutional steps taken by the President, i.e. without exhausting all the options given in the constitution for appointing Chief of Caretaker Govt., he himself became the Chief of Caretaker Govt. breaking the condition of a non-partisan, neutral person! Although he is constitutionally obligated for facilitating to form not only neutral Caretaker Govt. and neutral Election Commission, he made the first one pro-BNP-Jamaat taking unilateral decisions ignoring other advisors' opinions and by promoting his partisan former information secretary to the position of 11th adviser which is also breach of the constitutional Act regarding Caretaker Government's structure and characteristics.

Similarly the President appointed two partisan commissioners to the Election Commission, which was previously filled by the past Govt. with their loyal pro-BNP-Jamat people totally ignoring the national demand of changing the partisan EC for conducting a free fair election! He did not take any step to eliminate more than one crore false voters' names from the voter list and correct it but acted promptly to announce the election schedule!

While calling for a peace deal, Dr Yunus did not mention of this breach of constitution by President or did not say anything about partisan administrators for foiling free, fair election! He only called 14-party alliance to stop their blockade. Good, but people were really confused to see the Nobel laureate to be so.
