This is undoubtedly a historic event which all of us should recognize and support wholeheartedly. In the TV news we have heard that the democratic government of Nepal is receiving recognition and appreciation from abroad. Unfortunately, I have not heard anything about Bangladesh's position. Is our government waiting for green signal since “Maobad” doesn't quite appeal to them? Nevertheless, today Channel i telecast a programme. One of the guests, a former diplomat, made some very important observations about the future issues that need to be tackled by the new Democratic Republic of Nepal. The respected diplomat also briefly outlined the role Bangladesh should play in strengthening the democratic process in Nepal, which is an important member of Saarc and its secretariat is located in Nepal. We hope that our government has heard his comments including the comment about our image crisis in Middle Eastern countries. The episode participated by a former VC of the DU and the diplomat should be very thought provoking for the current CTG. We hope they get the feedback from their organised sources of information on this kind of constrictive discussion. I feel sorry for the moderator and think that he has found how difficult it is to put words or questions to seasoned guests and get the anticipated reply. Never mind. Go ahead…
