If PM Tarique Rahman does visit Delhi he should include some Opposition MPs in his delegation to send the message that India cannot seek to divide and conquer Bangladesh. Including MPs like @mirahmad01 and @NahidIslam_24 in the delegation would resonate ঘরে বাইরে.
AIPAC spent $30 million trying to defeat Abdul El-Sayed in the primary. They lost.
Now, they plan to spend tens of millions more against him in the general election.
This is not democracy. This is oligarchy and a corrupt billionaire-funded campaign finance system.
Fight back.
Bangladesh is outraged that the absconding convicted genocider Sheikh Hasina was allowed this evening to engage in live interaction with the media in New Delhi where she and her henchmen launched venomous vitriol against the State of Bangladesh and her people.
Dhaka deeply regrets that in spite of concerns conveyed apriori to the Government of India about the likely ramifications of this event on the reset of our bilateral relations, this public event was permitted to be held.
On a day when the people of Bangladesh are observing the second anniversary of the July Revolution, this interaction by Sheikh Hasina on the Indian soil stands as an affront to the sovereignty of Bangladesh and a grievous insult to the martyrs of the July Revolution.
The denial of facts established by the United Nations, including gruesome killing of the innocent civilians including minor children during July-August 2024 by the fascist regime, stands as a futile attempt by the absconding convicted mass murderer Hasina and her criminal cohort to reverse the tide of history. The people of Bangladesh had already rejected such heinous attempts in the past and continue to do so now.
Upholding the spirit of the July Revolution, our people have firmly resolved that our nation will never again go back to the dark days of fascism and that Bangladesh will never be a client State. Convicted mass murderer Hasina and her mafia enterprise will never have a place in the polity of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh desires to maintain a constructive, mutually beneficial, and forward-looking relationship with India based on sovereign equality, mutual respect, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, and national dignity. Regrettably, Bangladesh’s repeated requests to the Government of India for returning convicted criminal Hasina to Bangladesh under the Extradition Treaty signed between Bangladesh and India in 2013, has not yet elicited a response. On the contrary, allowing her the opportunity to openly interact with the media under any pretext is deeply hurtful to our people’s sentiment and detrimental to the development of harmonious bilateral relations between Bangladesh and India.

@BBCNews Messi’s foul vs Algeria wasn't even a yellow card, yet others get direct reds for the exact same challenge.
Argentina fouls in the build-up vs Austria? Goal stands.

Why does EVERY controversial decision favor Argentina? 🤔
