Good article
Rumi Azad On e-mail
I have read with great interest an article under the caption, "We are under threat of sorts" by Brig. Gen. (Red) Shahedul Anam Khan published in your esteemed Daily of 21 December 2006. I wish to congratulate the writer for an article well written and timely. Thanks are also due to The Daily Star for presenting its readers with an article of high quality and value. A write-up like this was long overdue. Brig. Anam said what had to be said and that which was long over due.I too have been extremely disturbed for quite some time with the display of extraordinary zeal ( unsolicited and uncalled for) by some of the senior diplomats of some selected countries taking keen interest in the country's present state of volatile politics and political activism. I am in full agreement with the writer on his observation that these diplomats are interfering in the internal affairs of the country ignoring all boundaries of international diplomatic norms. I have often been tempted to ask these hyperactive and highly concerned diplomats as to whether or not these very diplomats would dare involve themselves in such exercises had they been in Pakistan, North Korea or Myanmar etc where the state of affairs is perennially worse than Bangladesh? While commenting on the article I would be failing in my moral calling if I do not say a few words about our senior politicians and the government at large. They too are guilty of having welcomed and as a matter of fact paving the way for these diplomats to literally walk over us. Whatever these diplomats are engaged in, it appears that they are as they call it "taking liberties with the state of Bangladesh".
