[mukto-mona] 'Interesting' News from MBI Munshi on "UN asked to return Bangladeshi forces"

'Interesting' News from MBI Munshi on "UN asked to return Bangladeshi forces"


Its interesting to see such news published in a much 'less known' weekly "the Blitz' and circulated by a 'well known' personality like Mr Munshi in many forums and web sites including Mukto Mona.

I could not get a confirmation from the UNSG's office about the authenticity of this letter by one 'Susan Ramgopalam'. I guess the weekly had the exclusive right to get a copy of the letter written by him/her.

Nevertheless, I say it is 'interesting' because soon after the 1/11 - when political activities were limited, I saw some small size leaflets posted in the toilets and less frequent corners of the Dhaka University, Business Studies department, circulated by some islamist party outlining some demands. One such demand was "to pull out our troops employed in the UN". The reasons explained in that leaflet for such demand was to curb the leverage of UN that they allegedly enjoyed over Bangladesh Military due to the large number of Bangladeshi troops operating under blue helmet.

Though the context is different, yet the demand seems to be the same. Thus, it is indeed "interesting" to see how the same demand can be pursued from two different groups having diametrically opposite viewpoints and reasoning. Or are they same?
