This is an excellent example of the effectiveness of our government's diplomacy. What a great result!
Our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister should be lauded for their spirited defence of our sovereignty. BAL is truly the defender and caretaker of Independence.
Whilst on the subject we should not forget the government's victory on the Tipaimukh Dam. There is an urgent need to reduce poverty and previous measures have failed. With the Dam, the government can make significant strides to achieve the Millennium Goals by simply wrecking the eco-system in Sylhet. This will hopefully destroy the livelihoods of the peasants in that region, starve them and kill them. Its an amazing strategy and is testament to the foresight of our glorious leader.
I look forward to news of more victories from the government.
We are truly blessed.
Joy Bangla!

Delhi was handed over 30 terrorists while Dhaka gets none
New Delhi wants Bangladesh to return Indian mafia don Dawood Ibrahim's close aide Abdul Rouf Dawood Merchant
The Bangladesh government is yet to bring back anyone officially since signing extradition treaty between Bangladesh and India after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's visit to India in January. More than 400 listed terrorists are reported to have taken shelter in the safe havens in different parts of West Bengal.(The Daily Star)
However, the incumbent AL government has handed over at least 30 citizens of India to its government including top ten leaders of the banned United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) after signing the extradition treaty.
In return, what Bangladesh gained is a big zero. India has not handed over any of the most-wanted criminals to Bangladesh.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) police of Bangladesh wrote letters to the West Bengal CID police and the Delhi CID police asking them to hand over the terrorists to Bangladesh, the sources said.
A human rights organisation of India said at least 500 Bangladeshis are languishing in different Indian jails.
The Bangladesh government has so long failed to bring back Harkatul Jihad Al-Islami Bangladesh (HIJAB) activists, Morsalin and his brother Mottakin, who were involved in the August 21, 2004 grenade attack on the Awami League rally in Dhaka.
The Harkatul Jihad men are currently lodged in Tihar Jail in Delhi while some top listed criminals are now being kept in different jails of West Bengal.
Police sources said Shahadat Hossain, Dakat Shaheed, Khandakar Tanvir Islam Joy, Haris Ahmed alias Haris, Montu, Khorshed and Zisan, Halim, Rony, Mohammad Ali, Jeshin, Ashik, Nabi, Mosarraf, Chanchal and Shahin are among the 42 top terrors reportedly hiding in India.
Recently the most-wanted terrorist from Bangladesh who hid in India, Shahadat, told reporters on telephone that he helped the Indian law-enforcement agencies arrest Halim, Haji Decon, Ashik, Ali and many other criminals.
Indian authority claimed they had sent back home Rony, Montu, Piyal, Halim, Haji Decon, Ashik and Nobi but they were reported missing from custody, sources said.
Though the Indian media quoted the Indian authority as claiming that they had deported at least 20 criminals to Bangladesh but Dhaka did not confirm it. The human rights organisations also found them missing from custody.
Before signing extradition treaty between Bangladesh and India two listed criminals, Babul and Jewel were handed over to the Bangladesh police in December 2007. The Kolkata CID police handed over two top criminals, Sanjidul Islam Imon and Tushar, to the Bangladeshi team in March, 2008. With Imon and Tushar, a total of seven listed criminals were deported to Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, the ULFA leaders, who were deported to the Indian authorities by Bangladeshi agencies at an outpost on the border in Meghalaya, are chairman of the banned outfit Arabinda Rajkhowa, his wife Kaberi Kachari and their two sons, deputy chief Raju Barua and Rajkhowa's bodyguard Raju Borah.
Two other top ULFA leaders, Chitrabon Hazarika and Sasha Choudhury, were detained in Bangladesh and subsequently handed over to India.
While the Bangladesh government maintained secrecy about handover of Arabinda Rajkhowa, the Indian media reported that at least ten top ULFA and NDFB 'terrorists' were handed over by Dhaka.
Moreover, according to Indian media reports, two other rebel leaders, Chairman of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) Ranjan Daimary and chairman of the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) Biswamohan Debbarma, were also handed over to India. The two suspected members of the India-based militant outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), were also deported by Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, New Delhi wants Bangladesh to return Indian mafia don Dawood Ibrahim's close aide Abdul Rouf Dawood Merchant, who was arrested by the law enforcers in Bangladesh last year.
Indian Foreign Ministry has sent a letter to the Bangladesh ministry of foreign affairs for returning Abdul Rouf Dawood Merchant, who is accused of killing Mumbai music baron Gulshan Kumar.
Meanwhile, Home Minister Sahara Khatun denied media reports that the chairman of the Indian separatist group ULFA, Rajkhowa, had been arrested in Bangladesh and later pushed back to India.
