Diplomatic interference
O H Kabir, Dhaka
From time to time we observe that some foreign diplomats, leaders and visitors poke their nose into the internal matters of our country. They make statements, hold press conferences, meet our President, Prime Minister, Chief Adviser and Advisers to the CTG, political leaders, leader of the opposition, top govt. officials and any one they like and discuss our domestic, political, economic and foreign affairs. Even a low profile foreign official can meet those at the helm as and when they wish.How many of our leaders, ministers, ambassadors, high commissioners and high govt. officials have access to the US President George Bush, British Prime Minister Browne and other American and British leaders and high govt. officials in Washington and London? Do our political leaders and govt. officials have the guts and courage to tell the leaders/government officials of foreign countries about their (foreign countries') excesses, violation of human rights, illegal occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, indiscriminate killing of hundreds of Iraqis and Afghans, blind support to Israel etc? Is interference by a country in the internal affairs of another country right or wrong? What does the UN charter say?
