Hi J. A. Chowdhury,
If BNP Jamat regime did the same thing like BAL regime it does not become jaiz. I heard the BAL regime is "din bodoler sarkar". That is in fact true in a sense they are much way ahead of their counterparties. BNP-Jamat regime changed all VCs and BAL regime is not only changing but BALizing and BAKSALizing with placing political cults of BAL in those public places. That really complies din bodoler manifesto. Regards.

Hi Akbar, you are talking about wisdom and something from the discarded domain of ethics, but all they are doing is part of their BAKSALization and BALization agenda. You are talking only about appointment of diplomats, where have you been when a renowned BAList cult was recently appointed as the Vice Chancellor of the foremost university of the country? If what they did with regard to the topmost institution of education in the country is simply "jaiz" to them then their policy with regard to the diplomatic missions must be "wajib" or "farz" for them at minimum. If you like this policy, speak up your voice but if you don't you better shut up lest those lurking around you will assault on you immediately. You better take care of yourself otherwise they have thousand ways to prove and incriminate you as a "jongi" if you are not liked to them.

Key diplomatic appointments on the basis of political affinity are not an idea based on wisdom. This is truer in unstable and nascent democracies. In the corrupted and bitterly polarized political culture of Bangladesh this step will make diplomacy unstable and aimless and parochial. Diplomats should be chosen by their experience not by their political affiliation. In this connection I would say that the Bangladeshi diplomatic missions abroad do not perform as they are supposed to do. Their performances do not replicate the modern art of diplomacy. A lethargic and home oriented atmosphere is visible every where. The idea of political appointment will make situation more worse.

Such political appointments in strategically important missions, foreign policy experts said, may create resentment among the diplomats who have dreamt of such postings throughout their career.
The government has already decided to send former Bangladesh ambassador to the United States Tariq A Karim to India and former Rahshahi University vice-chancellor Saidur Rahman Khan to London as high commissioners on a contractual basis.
The government is also set to appoint Syed Muazzem Ali as Bangldesh's ambassador to the United States.
Former ambassadors close to the government, however, feel there is nothing wrong with contractual appointments as the countries of assignment give importance to the ambassadors who are 'close to top government leaders.'
Sources in the government told New Age the government wanted to begin with a rejuvenated team to attain extended goals of the ruling party's domestic policies and to fulfil the people's expectations reflected in the electoral mandate.
'Our ambassadors and high commissioners must act as alter egos of the head of the government. Those people [persons made heads of missions] must reflect the state policy and programme to get better access to their designated destinations,' Mostafa Faruque Mohammad, a former high commissioner in New Delhi, told New Age on Saturday.
Mostafa Faruque, also a member on the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs ministry, said such assignments these days were economic as well as political jobs and therefore people need to have expertise and experience.
A former senior diplomat said career diplomats could serve better than politically appointed people because of their expertise in related jobs.
'It is not guaranteed that a people having a good political contact with the government serves better than a diplomat,' he said. 'Such appointments outside the service may create frustration among serving diplomats waiting for such posting.'
Referring to Bangladesh's previous posting in New Delhi, the diplomat said four, out of the 10, high commissioners including Faruq A Choudhury, Farooq Sobhan, CM Shafi Shami and Hemayetuddin later worked as foreign secretaries.
He said working in strategically important missions give them a chance to prepare themselves for the post of top diplomat of the country.
The government has also already appointed Saiful Haque, an expatriate Bangladeshi businessman in Russia, as the country's ambassador in Moscow, replacing Mohamed Mijarul Quayes, who is considered a candidate for the post of foreign secretary.
The government is also set to appoint Abul Barakat, an economist and teacher of Dhaka University, as head of the Bangladesh's permanent mission in Geneva, former Bangladesh high commissioner in London Giasuddin as ambassador to Germany, Dhaka University teacher Neem Chandra Bhoumik as ambassador in Kathmandu, Abahani Limited director Shahed Reja, also a close friend to the late Sheikh Kamal, as ambassador in Kuwait and the finance minister's younger brother Abul Momen as ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
