Alarming situation: Comment
By Zoglul Husain, UK
London 19 July 2010. I wholeheartedly thank the editor and the special correspondent of the New Nation for the following report , which clearly shows how India is gradually swallowing up our economy:
Economy passing to alien hands

I also wholeheartedly thank all other media, which overcome difficulties to inform the public of the realities of the state we are in, in the interest of the country.
The imperialist globalisation was hit hard, indeed basically and intrinsically destroyed, through the world financial crisis of 2008-09. The new nations, i.e. the developing nations, must save their home grown positive economic set-ups from being swamped by powerful foreign corporates, and must expand those in the interest of their economic development. We must strike the right balance between the national interest and our international relations. We must not surrender to the conspiracies of East India companies and their local lackeys. Also the country, which desertifies our country through Farakka and other dams and barrages, amongst other harms such as border killings, can never be our friends, until and unless they refrain from doing those harms and compensate for all the damages done. Any one, who does not understand this, is either a lackey of India or is a victim of Indian propaganda.
Bush administration set up the evil US-Israel-India axis for the neocon scheme of occupying about 60 countries, starting from Afghanistan and Iraq. But just these two wars gave the Bush admin a bloody nose, and the Obama admin now is trying to change the policies, - how successfully is yet to be seen.
It is through the support of the Bush admin that the conspiracy of 1/11 2007 was launched in Bangladesh by India in order to subjugate Bangladesh in India's interest, to plunder our natural resources and to trample our national interest. Their 'minus two' formula, however, failed because of Khaleda's firmness in resisting forced exile, against heavy odds. Then they, as a second choice, connived with Hasina, and totally rigged the election of 29 Dec 2008 with the help of the army, as Jalil and Ershad exposed later. The army was misguided by Moeen and his cohorts, who were committed to India. Was it in exchange for just six horses, for which Bangladesh paid 6 crore Taka (?), or a bit more in their own interest at the cost of the country??
Through 1/11 2007, and in the main through the support of the Bush admin, India made inroads to our government, administration, defence, judiciary, ACC and a host of other institutions of political, military, economic and cultural affairs. They now want to establish military control over Bangladesh with ulterior motives.
It is thus imperative that all the patriots across the spectrum (Right, Centre and Left) unite and resist Indian hegemony over Bangladesh. This is a must if we do not want to be a vassal state of India or be a new Kashmir, a victim of genocides after genocides. All patriots, please wake up, unite and stand up!! The vast majority of the people are against Indian hegemony over Bangladesh and they are looking forward to the unity of the patriots.

Economy passing to alien hands
In the business front, the country's fragile political situation is being utilised to use Bangladesh as the gateway to northeast
The economy is slowly but steadily passing hand to the aliens at a time when the country's ruling elite remained deeply embedded to new found strategic allies to beat back nationalist and Islamist forces in domestic politics.In the business front, the country's fragile political situation is being utilised to use Bangladesh as the gateway to northeast and Indian businessmen are out to capture the key service sector and manufacturing industries.
Leaders of BGMEA and BKMEA, two apex bodies of the garment sector slowly speaking out the truth. They said Indian investors are now buying major garment factories in Bangladesh.News reports meanwhile said many British, US and Canadian businessmen of Indian origin have already bought at least 50 key garment factories of the country including the famous SQ group, Crystal, Mustard, Hollywood, Shanta, Rose, Fortune, Trust, Ajax and such other manufacturing plants which have the record of earning billions of dollars in export earnings annually.
Businessmen of Indian origin are also negotiating the buying of another 100 garment factories at the moment, senior BGMEA sources are quoted to have said in talks with the local press. In addition to this, there are 140 garment factories now being laid off and they may eventually end up at the hands of foreign buyers.BGMEA president Abdus Salam Murshedy reportedly said such passing of hand is taking place as part of free market economy in certain situations. He said many Indians are engaged here at managerial levels.
Former BKMEA president Fazlul Haque reportedly said the question is not who is buying, the truth is that it is going contrary to the country's interest.The garment sector is treated as the major contributors to the nation's economic fortune generating tens and thousand of jobs mainly to the poor in addition to expansion of banking, insurance, transport, ports, shipping and such other services,Now these engines of fortunes are passing hand to aliens mainly by way of violence, arson and vandalism.
Foreigners are also working to take control of the country's telecommunication sector by buying big telecom companies and sharing the submarine cable system. The country's domestic consumer market is already in the Indian hand with over US$ 3.5 billion trade deficit and Delhi is not willing to open its market to substantive duty free exports from Bangladesh.
Bangladesh has agreed to open the connectivity under the joint declaration with India in Delhi in January this year.In this background, a 21-member strong business delegation visited Bangladesh last week to hold talks with government and business leaders about how to use the mutuality to set up new infrastructure facilities in Bangladesh to open the transit gateway from western India to its northeast.
Influential Congress parliamentarian and former minister responsible for development of northeast Moni Sankar Iyar led the delegation. During the visit he also has urged Bangladesh businessmen to invest in the northeast.The Indian trade delegation visited Ashuganj where India seeks quick mobilisation of resources to set up its port of call and develop port handling facilities. It is also in a hurry to build the 40 km long Ashuganj-Akhaura road to add new capacity to run heavy Indian transport vehicles.
Delhi has sought initial permission to carry equipment for a 1000 MW power plant to the Tripura state. The delegation also visited Chittagong port, assessed its present and future handling capacity and expressed the Indian desire to make investment in port facilities. It also talked about expansion of highway from port city to Tripura and Mizoram and developing infrastructure of the Mongla port to connect it with Indian business.
There is no study or configuration about it. Moreover, what is the security arrangement or sovereignty guarantee that Bangladesh will not become a vassal state at the end.
The Indian delegation has reportedly explored to build every bit of connectivity network by road, railway and water ways, by building bridges and dredging rivers.
