“Dipu Moni returns empty-handed,” published on July 28, 2013

Most countries, friends or foes, practice real politics. They do what is best for their perceived national interests. Our problem has been that our leaders in their naivety believe that if they give what the other side wants, Indian leaders will reciprocate from the goodness of their heart for the sake of friendship between the two countries. It does not work that way.

You are wrong, Sir, she did not return empty-handed; she must have bought some Indian 'sari.'

Any amount of decency could cause her resign long ago. But, like other ministers, she clings to power despite all failures.

Flattery gives nothing but shame. We are offering them transit and many other facilities but in return they are depriving us.

Perhaps the easiest job in the world is to criticise your own government. However, is it not Dipu Moni under whose leadership the nation won the historic maritime boundary case? I consider her as one of the best foreign ministers of Bangladesh so far.

That is exactly what happens when you give jobs of a professional to an unprofessional. Or maybe India wants to sign this agreement with the next BNP government, in case they win the next election.

As if Teesta water sharing and land boundary agreement deals are something like consumer commodities freely available in the city malls in India and Dipu Moni went there to procure those things at competitive prices and had to come back empty-handed due to reluctance of the respective shop owners to sell it to her. Such oversimplified evaluation of a foreign minister's tour to a country to settle longstanding disputes can be termed as nothing but childish.

Dipu Moni as well as anyone with little grey-cells up there knew it was going to be a futile attempt. But so what? At least Dipu Moni could add another 3 days' expenses to her record 600 days spent abroad on taxpayers' money.
