[ALOCHONA] Re: [KHABOR] Dhaka to make strong protest against border killings: Why So Late?-editorial



Dhaka has neither the character nor the charisma to summon any Indian ambassador.

As it is this so called summoning took place in the absence of the foreign minister and the foreign secretary.

As Bangladeshis we can forgive the foreign minister because she is a nice lady who makes great dim bhuna and who is blindly loyal to anything related to Mujib. And thats the most important thing. 

Dhaka summons the Indian ambassador?!

Dhaka couldn't summon a turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
