It is only a matter of time before the Army may step in and save what is left of Bangladesh. Even at this late hour, all the political parties joining together can save the nation. The political hatred between the two main political formations of the country has brought this disaster. Taking advantage of the situation, some undesirable elements may have also ganged up with one or the other political party.
We in India will obviously be concerned with the developments. We have been observing the rise and growing in strength of the fundamentalist forces during the last few years. The increasing influence of these elements within the establishment, the patronage that the BD authorities have been providing to the insurgent groups operating in the North-Eastern States of India were all disturbing developments. If Bangladesh moves towards anarchy, it is bound to have repercussions on the Indian side of the border. There can once again be influx of refugees across the border.
Let us hope that better sense will prevail upon the political leaders of Bangladesh.
