Indian government should reflect deeply on Bangladesh crisis

The west, especially the USA is always in the habit of taking advantage of political instability in 3^rd world countries. Today’s visit by the EU diplomat to Sheikh Hasina and USA newly appointed diplomat recent meeting with government official, partly underscores this notion that behind all their apparent show, there rest a hidden agenda and that is to secure maximum economic benefits for their multinational companies to the detriment of national and local interest of Bangladeshi businesses. I do not believe the USA has a genuine intention to restore democracy in Bangladesh. There is a sinister motive behind the motive of USA which is very deep and has more to do with china’s rise in the world stage. The weak and unpopular Bangladeshi government are more incline to give away to foreign demands more easily than a democratically elected legal government. If you look at their recent statements on Bangladesh, you would notice that in every instance their visit subject matter is always more to do with securing their business interest than genuinely seeking for an end to political impasse. Instead of pressuring the unpopular and illegally elected government to step down, they indirectly supports the government by alluding to put blame on opposition for violence. They intentionally avoid mentioning or condemning government law enforcement agencies for indiscriminate killings of protesters in the name of cross fire, and in many cases forceful abduction and subsequent killings of opposition activists. It is widely reported that many of the recent petrol bomb attack on innocent people were instigated by direct orders of the ruling Awami party Ministers and MP’s to demonise the opposition in order to turn opinion against the opposition. But this ploy by the government is proving to be ineffective, as the general populace does not believe in government propaganda, since all the evidence based on police and impartial media reports proves otherwise. Unlike the position taken by foreign diplomat in Bangladesh who intentionally avoids accepting the truth that acts of petrol bomb attack are a false flag operation instigated by the government for propaganda purposes. In any case, some act of violence that may come from the opposition activists are a natural reaction of police brutality on the opposition activists and due to long term suppression of their political rights. This trend is bound to increase with time if political rights are not restored.

What is surprising is that our neighbour Indian government fails to understand how cleverly the USA is manipulating politics in that region for  their own geo-political interest. The USA is very cleverly building up instability and fermenting political tension in Bangladesh so that in the long run this will lead to instability in Indian seven sisters, increase in militant activities, which is always the case when political rights are being suppressed, and this no doubt, will create opportunities for the USA to be actively involved in military activities in the name of preventing terrorism, as is the case in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and Ukraine. Suppressing rights of any population does not help in the long term to bring peace , progress and instability in any country rather this kind of political suppression always leads to violence and militancy, which no doubt, will spread to the neighbouring country India. Neighbour India should have been cleverer to understand that a stable, peaceful, and democratic government based on strong and genuine democratic institution mandated by the free votes of people will best serve Indian interest in Bangladesh, and in the long term this will put an end to the USA back door political influence in the region. India’s present Modi government must seek to address Bangladesh issue in good faith if it wants a stable future for its bordering states and this can never be achieved by supporting fascist Hasina government or staying on the middle of the fence.
