(In Bangla:) 'Hai, Hai'!! The BAL high command did not hesitate to slam the Indian journalist quite hard (without waiting for any erudite digging out the history of the term 'buffer state' or for their studious determination of the courses of possible actions for Bangladesh in the event of a war between India and Pakistan!!). The high command, quite conspicuously, refrained from defending the honour of the 'golden silence' of Dr Dipu Moni, or of her gallant 'defenders of honour'! She was brushed off as a person who 'probably could not grasp the importance' (the Daily Star)!! Now, in the highest diplomatic joint press conference between two countries (i.e. in front of the open wide world), if our foreign minister fails to 'grasp the importance' of the international standing of our country, and subsequently, if she is brushed off by her own high command as naive in the world of diplomatic prowess and clout, shouldn't she wish the ground below her feet to divide open in a large crack so that she can jump into, or as it normally does not happen, shouldn't she resign on personal grounds to save her- and her supporters' honour?? Reference: Today's (Dhaka, Wednesday, February 11, 2009) the News Today: 'Buffer state':AL blasts Indian journo's remark The ruling Awami League blew off the concept of ''buffer state'' as an unrealistic perception for Bangladesh and reminded that the nation didn't earn its independence as a gift, reports UNB. "Bangladesh did not get the independent state through anyone's blessings.We achieved it through liberation war and we''ll protect it at any cost," said Awami League spokesman and LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam.He made the remarks while talking to journalists during a break in the AL central working committee meeting at AL's Dhanmondi office Tuesday. His attention drawn to an Indian journalist's query to Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, outrageously dubbing Bangladesh as a ''buffer state'', the AL spokesperson said the Foreign Minister could not guess the importance of the issue in the face of the insidious remark. The Foreign Minister, a fresher in the job of dealing with diplomatic parlance, kept silent when Bangladeshi journalists wanted to know her reaction over the Indian journalist's salvo calling Bangladesh ''buffer state''.

The hue and cry about the so-called buffer state is out and out a propaganda for the sake of propaganda only. It is not very difficult to understand why some known vested faces are trying to make the "Buffer state" an issue .... probably an attempt to catch some fish in murkey water. ....... We have no border with Pakistan and we are not a satellite state of Pakistan In any Indo-Pakistan conflict we should try to remain as Buffer and neutral if that do not directly affect us...... we should mind our own business only .... buffer state: A buffer state is a country lying between two rival or potentially hostile greater powers, which by its sheer existence is thought to prevent conflict between them. Buffer states when authentically independent typically pursue a neutralist foreign policy, which distinguishes them from satellite states. The conception of buffer states is part of the theory of balance of power that entered European strategic and diplomatic thinking in the 17th century. In the 19th century, the manipulation of buffer states like Afghanistan and the Central Asian emirates was an element in the diplomatic "Great Game" played out between the British and Russian Empire for control of the approaches to strategic mountain passes that led to British India. Dr. Dipu Moni has shown her diplomatic skills by remaining silent on the misuse of the word by the Indian journalist.... Undoubtly, if speaking is silver, silence is gold ....... The nitpicking and sacastic remarks only reveals the defeatist mentality of the BNP-Jammat protégé like AmarDesh patrika and other BNP-Jamaat cronies. It has been proven over and over again that politics of fear and politics of India-bashing does not work well in Bangladesh [BNP-Jamaat's old tactics] ........ Some of the previous governments has harbored and provided training to 7-sister separatist [Assam] with the assistance of notorious ISI [Inter service Intelligence] of Pakistan. Our nation should always be alert, so that the notorious Inter service Intelligence of Pakistan. can not use our soil or our resources in it's maneuvors against India.

The journalist, as reported by the 'Amar desh', is Jayanta Ghosal of the 'Anandabazar Patrika', which is a mouthpiece for fascists and Hindu fundalists in India. The Hindu fundamentalists perpetrated thousands of riots and other brutal atrocities on the Dalits and the minority communities, including Muslims and Christians, in India. It is reported that the Hindu fundamentalists work hand in hand with the Mossad operatives and the Zionist fundamentalists of Israel. The Hindu fundamentalists reportedly took part in many terrorist activities, and were caught in the Malegaon blast case. 'Self-styled godman Dayanand Pandey, who was arrested in connection with the Malegaon blast case, has revealed during his narco-analysis test that' 'the Malegaon operation was masterminded by sadhvi Pragya Singh' Thakur. Also accused in the case is Lt Col Prasad Purohit, an officer in the Indian army. Not only India is a hotbed of riots and terrorist operations, it is also a hotbed of insurgencies, with at least 12 separate insurgencies active in there at present, as reported. Whereas in Bangladesh, the terrorist activities were contained quite rapidly by the former BNP government and later partly by the 'CTG' government. It is believed, with good reasons, that these terrorist activities in Bangladesh were organised by RAW, Mossad and CIA, with the ulterior motive of subjugating Bangladesh. There is neither any terrorist activities nor any insurgencies in Bangladesh now. The Amar Desh report is as follows: http://www.amardeshbd.com/dailynews/sub_section.php?issueID=1059&sub_section_id=18&NewsID=211077&NewsType=bistarito It is not at all surprising that Dr Dipu Moni, a puppet of India, remained quiet about it. Shame on her!!! Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 17:36:09 -0800 From: bd_mailer@yahoo.com Subject: Indian journo dares to call Bangladesh a ''buffer state'' To: zoglul@hotmail.co.uk ........ Indian journo dares to call Bangladesh a 'buffer state' Local newsmen taken aback:Foreign Minister fails to protest Indian mediaman''s remark Journalists were taken aback as Foreign Minister Dr Dipu Moni kept silent about an Indian journalist's sweeping remark that Pakistan is in proxy war using Bangladesh as ''buffer state'' and import terrorists from here to carry out terror strikes against India. Bangladeshi journalists covering the joint press conference of Indian External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and his Bangladeshi counterpart Dipu Moni thought that she would speak out to deflate the word ''buffer state''. But, without refuting the invention of ''buffer state'', Dipu Moni stated her government stance--that Bangladesh will not allow its soil to be used by any element or terrorist outfit to conduct terrorist activities against India. When a Bangladeshi journalist drew her attention while posing a question whether Bangladesh is being used as a ''buffer state'' by Pakistan to harbour terrorism, Dipu Moni--new to the tricks of the trade--didn''t make any reply about the remarks branding Bangladesh as ''buffer state''. She rather restated what she stated about the government stance not to allow terrorists to use Bangladeshi land against any neighboring countries. http://www.newstoday-bd.com/frontpage.asp?newsdate=#17436 |
