I am angry and sad. It has been several months since this demon Bangla Bhai has been treading on the sacred soil of Bangladesh. Twice more frustrating is the fact that senior members of the Administration, including two of the important ministers, have issued statements in this regard which turned out to have no substance.

Clearly, people of considerable authority in the government are protecting Bangla Bhai. Do these people realize that such acts have long-term ramifications and at some point may even jeopardize the very existence of this Nation? Besides, this very Bangla Bhai may turn out to be their Frankenstein. It is not an issue for this government alone, it is a universal and timeless one. This is a killer virus in the society. It challenges the very principles over which our nation stands. Bangla Bhais anywhere in the world are enemies of the human race.

The government is elated about its elite force Rab and its exploits of eliminating "known terrorists" through what is now popularly known as "crossfires". I wonder what is preventing it from going into action in this instance. If reporters of the dailies have access to Bangla Bhai and are able to interview him, how come our super boys of the police and the home ministry are unable to find him?

If Bangla Bhai and his kind are allowed to commit their heinous acts we shall not need external or any other "forces" to damage the image of our country. It is this kind of insensible behaviour in many Muslim majority states which creates the opportunities for the powerful and rogue states to interfere in our internal affairs.
