Friends 

This is the pertinent question peeping the minds of Crores of Bangladesh home and abroad : Who controls Bangladesh ?

Did the Martyred Mukti Jodhdhas wished their descendent's to hang like FELANI ???? 

Why the self declared Jatir Bibek the Budhdhi Jibis are tight lipped n the Champ Media and the erudite Chetonadhari journalists n personalities are beating the drum of the bestial HINDU STAAAAN despite the beast is on killing spree of the innocent people of Bangladesh who they(HIDU  STAAAN) wish to see as subservient "Korod Rajjaya" under their bestial tutelage??????????????????????

Is it not a shame for a nation(Bangladeshis) who were called non-marshal but turned ferociously Marshal overnight in 1971 to fight back the Janwar Pakistani occupying Army and  forced them to chew their own balls and handed the elite fighting force a most disgraceful defeat to keep quiet at the continuous bestial act ??????????????????? 

Should we not wake up and show our rock like unity n strong fist to the invader( in guise of eternal friend) n fortify our borders to secure it from future onslaught of the beast.

Felani leaves many questions behind: Who controls Bangladesh ?
 
Mohammad Zainal Abedin, USA
 
 
 After 30 hours Indian BSF handover the dead body of Felani to BGB
 
It is very unfortunate that Bangladeshis are not allowed to express their anger originated due to the brutal murder and subsequent hanging the dead body of unfortunate, Felani a 15-year old Bangladeshi maiden.  This barbarity unquestionably moved those around the world who have minimum sense of humanity. Police arrested one Sirajganj-based leader of BNP (Bangladesh National Party) and nine other activists of JCD (Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal) of Kusthia. They were arrested on charge of carrying posters with a caption   -  Felani not hanging, Bangladesh is hanging. Police, however, claimed the posters had some derogatory remarks against the foreign minister Dipu Moni.
 
If this claim is true, yet police should know it that Dipu Moni is not a goddess who can't be condemned for her utter failure to read the feelings of the Bangladeshis, as she failed to lodge immediate and appropriate protest against India's barbarous cruelty. Her office took 10 days to call the Indian High Commissioner in office that expressed soft-worded merely phony reaction. It is clear Dipu Moni's office showed its inability to condemn India, or seek the punishment of the BSF personnel or compensation for the fateful family of Felani. Dipu Moni, being the foreign minister cannot deny her failure and inability in ventilating the feelings and agony of the Bangladeshi people.
 
Knowledgeable sources allege the foreign office is heavily influenced, even guided, by India and the silence of the foreign office, particularly over Felan's tragic murder, uncovered this reality. The role of the foreign minister threw a question-mark on the sovereignty of Bangladesh. Her performance was neither appreciable nor representative that resented, even disheartened, the cross-section of people. So the people deserve and preserve the right to express their resentment and agony in whatever way they prefer to do. It may be a demonstration, rally, poster, poem, novel, drama, film or so on. None should deny this fundamental right of the people. People are not anyone's servant; rather a minister is meant to serve the people and country. The foreign minister should have resigned immediately after her failure in tuning to the peoples' sentiment. It questions her integrity to her duty and responsibility. The foreign office, would have immediately asked India to :
 
1.  Explain under what situation unarmed Felani was killed and her dead body hanged on the barbedwire fence
 
2.  Seek apology for such uncivilized misdeed
 
3.  compensate to the loss of Felani's bereaved family
 
4.  Punish those  BSF personnel who were involved in the tragic episode
 
5.  Control BSF to refrain from committing such nefarious  act in future .
 
Critics allege, the foreign office, better to say, the sitting government policy, seem to be committed not to annoy India by words and deeds. They allege, Dipu Moni turned our foreign office to the Bangladesh chapter of India's external affairs ministry. The performances of the government repeatedly exposed this reality. If the government was sincere in lodging appropriate protest and reaction, activists of any party would have not tried to paste posters condemning Dipu Moni, and India as well. In fact, the arrest of those who carried or pasted posters is itself a condemnable act that violates the freedom of speech and opinion, more precisely democratic rights. 
 
Bangladesh is not ruled by any military and autocratic dictator. The Prime Minister on several occasions (even in London) proudly claimed that her government is institutionalizing democracy.  But her words are not ventilated in practice. Arrest of those who printed or carried or pasted or distributed the posterS on Felani is contrary to democratic practice. Such arrest establishes two-pronged realities: the government does not practice democracy and it will not allow anyone to defame Indian hegemonic bullies.
 
Felani at the cost of her life left many questions behind: who controls Bangladesh? Why Bangladesh government didn't dare to condemn India? Why the Home Minister took 29 days to visit the house of Felani? Why government arrested those who through pasting and distributing posters on Felani's murder ventilate their agony? Does the government have any acceptable and accurate answers to all these questions?* (Mohammad Zainal Abedin is a Bangladeshi journalist & researcher) Email: noa@agni.com

[ALOCHONA] Egypt, Israel and a Strategic Reconsideration



Egypt, Israel and a Strategic Reconsideration
 

By George Friedman

The events in Egypt have sent shock waves through Israel. The 1978 Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel have been the bedrock of Israeli national security. In three of the four wars Israel fought before the accords, a catastrophic outcome for Israel was conceivable. In 1948, 1967 and 1973, credible scenarios existed in which the Israelis were defeated and the state of Israel ceased to exist. In 1973, it appeared for several days that one of those scenarios was unfolding.

The survival of Israel was no longer at stake after 1978. In the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, the various Palestinian intifadas and the wars with Hezbollah in 2006 and Hamas in Gaza in 2008, Israeli interests were involved, but not survival. There is a huge difference between the two. Israel had achieved a geopolitical ideal after 1978 in which it had divided and effectively made peace with two of the four Arab states that bordered it, and neutralized one of those states. The treaty with Egypt removed the threat to the Negev and the southern coastal approaches to Tel Aviv.

The agreement with Jordan in 1994, which formalized a long-standing relationship, secured the longest and most vulnerable border along the Jordan River. The situation in Lebanon was such that whatever threat emerged from there was limited. Only Syria remained hostile but, by itself, it could not threaten Israel. Damascus was far more focused on Lebanon anyway. As for the Palestinians, they posed a problem for Israel, but without the foreign military forces along the frontiers, the Palestinians could trouble but not destroy Israel. Israel's existence was not at stake, nor was it an issue for 33 years.

The Historic Egyptian Threat to Israel

The center of gravity of Israel's strategic challenge was always Egypt. The largest Arab country, with about 80 million people, Egypt could field the most substantial army. More to the point, Egypt could absorb casualties at a far higher rate than Israel. The danger that the Egyptian army posed was that it could close with the Israelis and engage in extended, high-intensity combat that would break the back of Israel Defense Forces by imposing a rate of attrition that Israel could not sustain. If Israel were to be simultaneously engaged with Syria, dividing its forces and its logistical capabilities, it could run out of troops long before Egypt, even if Egypt were absorbing far more casualties.

Readers Comment on STRATFOR Reports

The solution for the Israelis was to initiate combat at a time and place of their own choosing, preferably with surprise, as they did in 1956 and 1967. Failing that, as they did in 1973, the Israelis would be forced into a holding action they could not sustain and forced onto an offensive in which the risks of failure — and the possibility — would be substantial.

It was to the great benefit of Israel that Egyptian forces were generally poorly commanded and trained and that Egyptian war-fighting doctrine, derived from Britain and the Soviet Union, was not suited to the battle problem Israel posed. In 1967, Israel won its most complete victory over Egypt, as well as Jordan and Syria. It appeared to the Israelis that the Arabs in general and Egyptians in particular were culturally incapable of mastering modern warfare.

Thus it was an extraordinary shock when, just six years after their 1967 defeat, the Egyptians mounted a two-army assault across the Suez, coordinated with a simultaneous Syrian attack on the Golan Heights. Even more stunning than the assault was the operational security the Egyptians maintained and the degree of surprise they achieved. One of Israel's fundamental assumptions was that Israeli intelligence would provide ample warning of an attack. And one of the fundamental assumptions of Israeli intelligence was that Egypt could not mount an attack while Israel maintained air superiority. Both assumptions were wrong. But the most important error was the assumption that Egypt could not, by itself, coordinate a massive and complex military operation. In the end, the Israelis defeated the Egyptians, but at the cost of the confidence they achieved in 1967 and a recognition that comfortable assumptions were impermissible in warfare in general and regarding Egypt in particular.

The Egyptians had also learned lessons. The most important was that the existence of the state of Israel did not represent a challenge to Egypt's national interest. Israel existed across a fairly wide and inhospitable buffer zone — the Sinai Peninsula. The logistical problems involved in deploying a massive force to the east had resulted in three major defeats, while the single partial victory took place on much shorter lines of supply. Holding or taking the Sinai was difficult and possible only with a massive infusion of weapons and supplies from the outside, from the Soviet Union. This meant that Egypt was a hostage to Soviet interests. Egypt had a greater interest in breaking its dependency on the Soviets than in defeating Israel. It could do the former more readily than the latter.

Readers Comment on STRATFOR Reports
(click here to enlarge image)

The Egyptian recognition that its interests in Israel were minimal and the Israeli recognition that eliminating the potential threat from Egypt guaranteed its national security have been the foundation of the regional balance since 1978. All other considerations — Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas and the rest — were trivial in comparison. Geography — the Sinai — made this strategic distancing possible. So did American aid to Egypt. The substitution of American weapons for Soviet ones in the years after the treaty achieved two things. First, they ended Egypt's dependency on the Soviets. Second, they further guaranteed Israel's security by creating an Egyptian army dependent on a steady flow of spare parts and contractors from the United States. Cut the flow and the Egyptian army would be crippled.

The governments of Anwar Sadat and then Hosni Mubarak were content with this arrangement. The generation that came to power with Gamal Nasser had fought four wars with Israel and had little stomach for any more. They had proved themselves in October 1973 on the Suez and had no appetite to fight again or to send their sons to war. It is not that they created an oasis of prosperity in Egypt. But they no longer had to go to war every few years, and they were able, as military officers, to live good lives. What is now regarded as corruption was then regarded as just rewards for bleeding in four wars against the Israelis.

Mubarak and the Military

But now is 33 years later, and the world has changed. The generation that fought is very old. Today's Egyptian military trains with the Americans, and its officers pass through the American command and staff and war colleges. This generation has close ties to the United States, but not nearly as close ties to the British-trained generation that fought the Israelis or to Egypt's former patrons, the Russians. Mubarak has locked the younger generation, in their fifties and sixties, out of senior command positions and away from the wealth his generation has accumulated. They want him out.

For this younger generation, the idea of Gamal Mubarak being allowed to take over the presidency was the last straw. They wanted the elder Mubarak to leave not only because he had ambitions for his son but also because he didn't want to leave after more than a quarter century of pressure. Mubarak wanted guarantees that, if he left, his possessions, in addition to his honor, would remain intact. If Gamal could not be president, then no one's promise had value. So Mubarak locked himself into position.

The cameras love demonstrations, but they are frequently not the real story. The demonstrators who wanted democracy are a real faction, but they don't speak for the shopkeepers and peasants more interested in prosperity than wealth. Since Egypt is a Muslim country, the West freezes when anything happens, dreading the hand of Osama bin Laden. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood was once a powerful force, and it might become one again someday, but right now it is a shadow of its former self. What is going on now is a struggle within the military, between generations, for the future of the Egyptian military and therefore the heart of the Egyptian regime. Mubarak will leave, the younger officers will emerge, the constitution will make some changes and life will continue.

The Israelis will return to their complacency. They should not. The usual first warning of a heart attack is death. Among the fortunate, it is a mild coronary followed by a dramatic change of life style. The events in Egypt should be taken as a mild coronary and treated with great relief by Israel that it wasn't worse.

Reconsidering the Israeli Position

I have laid out the reasons the 1978 treaty is in Egypt's national interest. I have left out two pieces. The first is ideology. The ideological tenor of the Middle East prior to 1978 was secular and socialist. Today it is increasingly Islamist. Egypt is not immune to this trend, even if the Muslim Brotherhood should not be seen as the embodiment of that threat. Second, military technology, skills and terrain have made Egypt a defensive power for the past 33 years. But military technology and skills can change, on both sides. Egyptian defensiveness is built on assumptions of Israeli military capability and interest. As Israeli ideology becomes more militant and as its capabilities grow, Egypt may be forced to reconsider its strategic posture. As new generations of officers arise, who have heard of war only from their grandfathers, the fear of war declines and the desire for glory grows. Combine that with ideology in Egypt and Israel and things change. They won't change quickly — a generation of military transformation will be needed once regimes have changed and the decisions to prepare for war have been made — but they can change.

Two things from this should strike the Israelis. The first is how badly they need peace with Egypt. It is easy to forget what things were like 40 years back, but it is important to remember that the prosperity of Israel today depends in part on the treaty with Egypt. Iran is a distant abstraction, with a notional bomb whose completion date keeps moving. Israel can fight many wars with Egypt and win. It need lose only one. The second lesson is that Israel should do everything possible to make certain that the transfer of power in Egypt is from Mubarak to the next generation of military officers and that these officers maintain their credibility in Egypt. Whether Israel likes it or not, there is an Islamist movement in Egypt. Whether the new generation controls that movement as the previous one did or whether they succumb to it is the existential question for Israel. If the treaty with Egypt is the foundation of Israel's national security, it is logical that the Israelis should do everything possible to preserve it.

This was not the fatal heart attack. It might not even have been more than indigestion. But recent events in Egypt point to a long-term problem with Israeli strategy. Given the strategic and ideological crosscurrents in Egypt, it is in Israel's national interest to minimize the intensity of the ideological and make certain that Israel is not perceived as a threat. In Gaza, for example, Israel and Egypt may have shared a common interest in containing Hamas, and the next generation of Egyptian officers may share it as well. But what didn't materialize in the streets this time could in the future: an Islamist rising. In that case, the Egyptian military might find it in its interest to preserve its power by accommodating the Islamists. At this point, Egypt becomes the problem and not part of the solution.

Keeping Egypt from coming to this is the imperative of military dispassion. If the long-term center of gravity of Israel's national security is at least the neutrality of Egypt, then doing everything to maintain that is a military requirement. That military requirement must be carried out by political means. That requires the recognition of priorities. The future of Gaza or the precise borders of a Palestinian state are trivial compared to preserving the treaty with Egypt. If it is found that a particular political strategy undermines the strategic requirement, then that political strategy must be sacrificed.

In other words, the worst-case scenario for Israel would be a return to the pre-1978 relationship with Egypt without a settlement with the Palestinians. That would open the door for a potential two-front war with an intifada in the middle. To avoid that, the ideological pressure on Egypt must be eased, and that means a settlement with the Palestinians on less-than-optimal terms. The alternative is to stay the current course and let Israel take its chances. The question is where the greater safety lies. Israel has assumed that it lies with confrontation with the Palestinians. That's true only if Egypt stays neutral. If the pressure on the Palestinians destabilizes Egypt, it is not the most prudent course.

There are those in Israel who would argue that any release in pressure on the Palestinians will be met with rejection. If that is true, then, in my view, that is catastrophic news for Israel. In due course, ideological shifts and recalculations of Israeli intentions will cause a change in Egyptian policy. This will take several decades to turn into effective military force, and the first conflicts may well end in Israeli victory. But, as I have said before, it must always be remembered that no matter how many times Israel wins, it need only lose once to be annihilated.

To some it means that Israel should remain as strong as possible. To me it means that Israel should avoid rolling the dice too often, regardless of how strong it thinks it is. The Mubarak affair might open a strategic reconsideration of the Israeli position.

[ALOCHONA] Do we enjoy our existence ?



Do we enjoy our existence ?

2011 in The News Today, Bangladesh

yousuf mahbubul Islam, PhD

 

Is knowledge of any value to a person who does not have questions ? Let us look at what people in history have said to help us understand the importance of having questions. Louis Leo "Lou" Holtz (born 1937), a highly successful American football coach, active sportscaster, author and motivational speaker, said, " I never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions. "

 

Not only are answers meaningless to a person without questions, the prolific French writer andhistorian Voltaire (1694 – 1778) goes further to suggest that the worth of a person should bemeasured by the quality of questions he/she has !

 

" Judge a person by their questions, rather than their answers. "

 

If one enjoys having a consciousness, having feelings, being a unique individual and living a life, should such a person simply assume that all these things are random or that he/she deserves

the life he/she has ? Or should such a person have questions regarding the origin of the life theyare enjoying ? Questions like where has my consciousness come from? Is being unique andhaving life

a gift ? 

If it is a gift, should I not be grateful ? Who should I be grateful to ?

Each of ushas to individually decide whether it is important to have questions regarding their ownexistence and enjoyment of the life given.

What kind of questions did our messengers and prophets have ? For example, what droveProphet Muhammad (pbuh) to isolate himself and meditate in the Cave of Hira ?

Fi-Zilale Al-Qur'an reports that the Prophet had questions regarding his own creation and everything around him: "When Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was nearly forty, he had been wont to pass longhours in retirement meditating and speculating over all aspects of creationaround him. This meditative temperament helped to widen the mental gap betweenhim and his compatriots.

Meditating alone in the Cave, who guided the Prophet ? How did the Prophet get the answers hewas looking for ? The most recent Revelation, the Qur'an, informs us that our Creator will Guide those who seek guidance : " And Allah does advance in guidance those who seek guidance ;..." [19.76]

Our Creator gave Guidance to Prophet Muhammad in the form of Revelation as well asprovided answers to all questions of those around him. This most recent Revelation is recordedin the Qur'an. The purpose of Revelation given to Prophet Muhammad was also clarified : "And no question do they bring to thee but We Reveal to thee the truth and the bestexplanation (there of)."

[25.33]

Answers to the questions suggested above are also given in the Qur'an, for example :

" And your creation or your resurrection is but as an individual soul..."[31.28]

"It is He Who has created for you (the faculties of) hearing, sight, feelings andunderstanding :

little thanks it is you give !" [23.78]

"It is We who have placed you with authority on earth and provided you therein withmeans for the fulfillment of your life : small are the thanks that you give !" [7.10]

Enjoying the gift of life, should one therefore be grateful to the Creator and find ways to try toplease the Creator ?

Regarding our individual personality and responsibility, we are also guided : "To each is a goal to which Allah turns him; then strive together (as in a race) toward allthat is good…"[2.148]

"O people! Adore your Guardian-Lord who created you and those who came before you that you may have the chance to learn righteousness." [2.21]

Given that each one of us has an individual personality, skills and preferences, how can one begrateful to the Creator and do things to please Him ? History provides examples of how theprophets showed their gratefulness to the Creator, fought for the truth and totally trusted theCreator. Given the blessings and benefits each enjoys, what can or should one do ?

"But any that (in this life) have believed, repented and worked righteousness will havehopes to be among those who achieve salvation." [28.67]

"And the likeness of those who spend their substance seeking to please Allah and to strengthen their souls is as a garden high and fertile: heavy rain falls on it but makes it yield a double increase of harvest and if it receives not heavy rain light moisture suffices it. Allah sees well whatever you do." [2.265]

The prophets were all human beings who enjoyed the life given by the Creator. They were grateful and worked righteousness. The prophets are now gone and history has recorded their deeds. Taking lesson from these deeds, should we work at finding righteous deeds that suit our skills and environment given or should we return to sinful ways of the ungrateful ?

"Muhammad is no more than an Apostle: many were the Apostles that passed away before him. If he died or were slain will you then turn back on your heels ? If any did turn back on his heels not the least harm will he do to Allah; but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those who (serve him) with gratitude." 3.144

"And the apostles whom We sent before thee (Muhammad) were all (men) who ate food and walked through the streets..."[25.20]

"There was indeed in them an excellent example for you to follow for those whose hopeis in Allah and in the Last Day. But if any turn away truly Allah is Free of all WantsWorthy of all Praise."[60.6]

What was the main purpose of each apostle or prophet ?

"Say: "Truly am I a Warner: no god is there but the One Allah, Supreme and Irresistible"[38.65]

"The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between, exalted in Might, Able to enforce His Will, forgiving again and again. "[38.66]

"Nor can a soul die except by Allah's leave the term being fixed as bywriting. If any do desire a reward in this life We shall give it to him; and if any do desire a reward in the Hereafter We shall give it to him. And swiftly shall We reward those that (serve Us with) gratitude." 3.145

Each has been given a limited time on earth to learn and demonstrate righteousness. Allah also guides us with examples of those who do not wish to be grateful:

"Such as fear not the meeting with Us (for Judgment) say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us or (why) do we not see our Lord ?

" Indeed they have an arrogant conceit of themselves and mighty is the insolence of their impiety !" [25.21]--------

Felani leaves many questions behind: Who controls Bangladesh ?
 
Mohammad Zainal Abedin, USA
 
 
 After 30 hours Indian BSF handover the dead body of Felani to BGB
 
It is very unfortunate that Bangladeshis are not allowed to express their anger originated due to the brutal murder and subsequent hanging the dead body of unfortunate, Felani a 15-year old Bangladeshi maiden.  This barbarity unquestionably moved those around the world who have minimum sense of humanity. Police arrested one Sirajganj-based leader of BNP (Bangladesh National Party) and nine other activists of JCD (Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal) of Kusthia. They were arrested on charge of carrying posters with a caption   -  Felani not hanging, Bangladesh is hanging. Police, however, claimed the posters had some derogatory remarks against the foreign minister Dipu Moni.
 
If this claim is true, yet police should know it that Dipu Moni is not a goddess who can't be condemned for her utter failure to read the feelings of the Bangladeshis, as she failed to lodge immediate and appropriate protest against India's barbarous cruelty. Her office took 10 days to call the Indian High Commissioner in office that expressed soft-worded merely phony reaction. It is clear Dipu Moni's office showed its inability to condemn India, or seek the punishment of the BSF personnel or compensation for the fateful family of Felani. Dipu Moni, being the foreign minister cannot deny her failure and inability in ventilating the feelings and agony of the Bangladeshi people.
 
Knowledgeable sources allege the foreign office is heavily influenced, even guided, by India and the silence of the foreign office, particularly over Felan's tragic murder, uncovered this reality. The role of the foreign minister threw a question-mark on the sovereignty of Bangladesh. Her performance was neither appreciable nor representative that resented, even disheartened, the cross-section of people. So the people deserve and preserve the right to express their resentment and agony in whatever way they prefer to do. It may be a demonstration, rally, poster, poem, novel, drama, film or so on. None should deny this fundamental right of the people. People are not anyone's servant; rather a minister is meant to serve the people and country. The foreign minister should have resigned immediately after her failure in tuning to the peoples' sentiment. It questions her integrity to her duty and responsibility. The foreign office, would have immediately asked India to :
 
1.  Explain under what situation unarmed Felani was killed and her dead body hanged on the barbedwire fence
 
2.  Seek apology for such uncivilized misdeed
 
3.  compensate to the loss of Felani's bereaved family
 
4.  Punish those  BSF personnel who were involved in the tragic episode
 
5.  Control BSF to refrain from committing such nefarious  act in future .
 
Critics allege, the foreign office, better to say, the sitting government policy, seem to be committed not to annoy India by words and deeds. They allege, Dipu Moni turned our foreign office to the Bangladesh chapter of India's external affairs ministry. The performances of the government repeatedly exposed this reality. If the government was sincere in lodging appropriate protest and reaction, activists of any party would have not tried to paste posters condemning Dipu Moni, and India as well. In fact, the arrest of those who carried or pasted posters is itself a condemnable act that violates the freedom of speech and opinion, more precisely democratic rights. 
 
Bangladesh is not ruled by any military and autocratic dictator. The Prime Minister on several occasions (even in London) proudly claimed that her government is institutionalizing democracy.  But her words are not ventilated in practice. Arrest of those who printed or carried or pasted or distributed the posterS on Felani is contrary to democratic practice. Such arrest establishes two-pronged realities: the government does not practice democracy and it will not allow anyone to defame Indian hegemonic bullies.
 
Felani at the cost of her life left many questions behind: who controls Bangladesh? Why Bangladesh government didn't dare to condemn India? Why the Home Minister took 29 days to visit the house of Felani? Why government arrested those who through pasting and distributing posters on Felani's murder ventilate their agony? Does the government have any acceptable and accurate answers to all these questions?* (Mohammad Zainal Abedin is a Bangladeshi journalist & researcher) Email: noa@agni.com

Re: [ALOCHONA] Prothom Alo Editor under watch

There is another chance that, someone in power did not like what Prothom Alo published. Albeit this daily has a left leaning it does better job than most other news outlets in getting news. Instead of appreciating the service (OR bias) BAL enjoyed from Prothom Alo it is alleged that the editor is under watch.

No matter what is the reason, the press should be kept free from rulers interfering from reporting. If someone has any strong evidence of this daily being an "Agent" of RAW (Of India!) it should be presented and examined. It this allegation has merit, I am sure it will go out of business pretty soon.
