Intelligence failure?
As many other citizens, I too was horrified with the BDR mutiny and the loss of many brave soldiers. Does Bangladesh need this kind of tragedy to wake it up to the reality or should it tackle problems before they erupt? It would be naïve to think that the Bangladesh intelligence had no idea what was brewing underneath the surface while it was not at all surprising to many of us ordinary citizens, who barely cared about the art of intelligence gathering. It seems tension was there for a long time and nobody really cared to do anything to handle the situation. That raises the question of competency of our intelligence agency and the people (home ministry), who are responsible to deal with such problems. Can we truly rely on their competence?
I see investigation going forward and concluded without anybody being sacked or punished because that has been the standard for the last 38 years! Can things be different under the new government?
