[ALOCHONA] Re: Was our military short-staffed during the BDR Mutiny and if so why?

The main point of course though is:

Was there a joint exercise between India and Bangladesh at that time?

If this is true how is this fact irrelevant?

It may not have been part of a conspiracy but it is certainly not irrelevant.

I am a bigger kutha than Munshi. Fine.
