Unfriendly Bangladesh

Bangladeshi troops raided a camp run by Arakan Army at Alikong, 400km southeast of Dhaka. Arakan guerrillas are fighting for an independent state to be carved out of Myanmar. This operation shows growing cooperation between two nations with the influence of China, Myanmar is geographically important to Bangladesh, specially considering that Bangladesh is surrounded by India. When it comes to Indian North-Eastern terrorist groups operating from Bangladeshi territory, Bangladesh government is quite reluctant to accept their existence and let alone discuss about the nature of assistance these groups are receiving from them. They insist that there are no such camps in their territory, and recent border incidents shows current government's animosity towards India.

India is seen as one sitting duck by all these petty baby countries.
China's designs are as usual inscrutable.
And Indian govt has not exactly boasted the pride of our BSF and Army Jawans by their response to the killing of thse BSF officers in the border region.

Shame on our leaders but then our leaders are immune to things like shame.
