I understand that India has banned certain food items for export to
Bangladesh since October 2006 and that it increased the price of rice
recently by almost $100 for the export market. Are these measures
having an adverse affect on food prices in Bangladesh so that we may
consider India as taking a deliberately anti-Bangladesh stance and
trying to influence political developments in the country or are these
issues completely unrelated? If there is in fact some relationship
between the export ban and the rise of food prices here how could
Bangladesh offset these problems and why is not the Interim Government
making any comment on this unfriendly gesture by our big neighbour?
I would appreciate some comment on this issue as I am not entirely
clear on the matter and I am under the distinct impression that the
food price inflation is being artificially created although the two
floods this year had something to do with it but is that not also
caused by India by its unnecessary, unpredictable and often motivated
release of water from its side during the summer months. Also will
this not be a more serious problem after the Tipaimukh Dam
construction and when other river linking projects are complete? Does
the Interim Government have any policy to overcome these hostile and
distinctly unfriendly gestures of India or is Bangladesh to be to be
led by backboneless leaders lacking in national spirit and who are
apparently being advised by fifth columnist elements? How else can one
explain the Dr. Debapriya Bhattacharya appointment to the United
Nations as our permanent representative? Is this not a national
shame?
Comments are welcome on all these subjects and issues.
