Yes, we have bilateral problems with India, however we also have huge unresolved issues with several other countries, and in many cases we don't even acknowledge them as problems. So, would Mr Hasan like to take the same energy to protest the numerous trips to Saudi Arabia (by both BNP and Awami League leaders) often at the expense of the ruling family there, given we still don't have an explanation for why that country did not support our freedom struggle and withheld recognition until 1975? Or the frequent trips to China (again, often at the expense of that country's government) - another country that actively sided with the genocide forces in 1971 and blocked our entry to the UN unnecessarily, and incidentally, the country with whom our trade imbalance has recently eclipsed that of India (how come we don't see the Chinese flag burned on the streets like we do with India because of trade?) In fact, we have trade imbalance with most of our trade partners (apart from USA, Canada and Europe, primarily because of garment exports). Yet there are significant sections in our population who would gladly work for their interests in trade and diplomacy without the same fallout as initiatives with India.

My point is, perhaps if we have leaders who have favourable relations with India, China, Saudi Arabia and other countries, it will help resolve some of these problems and bring benefits to us in the long run. We should nurture good relations with all, and not take a partisan role based on our personal biases when the country's interests are at stake.
