Subject: RE: Where Bangladesh is heading to?
To: Isha Khan <bdmailer@gmail.com>
Dr. Sultan Ahmed lives in a Bangladesh where there is no such thing as Indian hegemonism and US imperialism, but unfortunately for him there is no such Bangladesh. He does not mention the India-US conspiracy of 1/11 2007, followed by a rigged and pre-determined election by the conspiracy in 2009, and hence he avoids the real issues and thus willingly falls into the trap of 'blame the two Begums'. The river water issues, border issues, corridor issues, CHT issues, Talpatti and Maritime issues, unequal trade issues, cultural aggression issues, independence and sovereignty issues, etc., etc. do not exist in his political vocabulary!
His yearning for a corruption-free Bangladesh govt is of course supportable, but no govt in the world is corruption-free, in particular the US is probably the most corrupt, most war-prone, most terrorist and most anti-people. In our region, in India, the revealed corruption scandal in the communication sector alone amounted to $40 billion! 153 of the 543 elected politicians of India in 2009 have criminal charges against them, at least 15 of them with at least one murder charge against them. This does not mean that we support corruption in BD!
So, his article is rather naive, mis-leading and mis-directed. Our first priority now is to safeguard our independence and sovereignty and the second priority is to develop the country. In the process good and bad will coexist and we will always fight the bad and support the good, but our priorities will have to be right.
