[ALOCHONA] BD ambassador in Kuwait should be fired

Dear Alochoks, I just read in the Daily Star that 100 Bangladeshi workers have been deported back from Kuwait after the recent worker strikes there. Many of the workers deported have been quoted in the Daily Star as saying that the Bangladesh Embassy has not played an active role in the recent worker portests or in protecting the rights of workers. Having lived in Bahrain, I am aware that the embassy officials are usually not involved in labor relations, even though these laborers send lots of foreign exchange. But beyond that, the larger point is that how come Indian workers are not exploited by the Gulf nations? It must be because Indian Embassy officials are active in such areas. What is the Bangladesh ambassador doing in Kuwait? Where is the embassy? It is amazing to hear that such testimonials from workers, especially since the Army General paid a visit to Kuwait not too long ago. I have a feeling that this ambassador is nothing more than a suit who rides around in a Mercedes giving boring speeches at the diplomatic corps and enjoying the good life. I hope that some of our Alochoks in Kuwait can shed some light on this. - Raheem New York
