Ganapati Chakraborty dedicated his life to guiding generations of students towards truth and justice. The blood of his family must not fade into just another transient headline.
The strongest argument for Bangladesh joining the pact is not ideological or geo-political. It is strategic and an opportunity to strengthen its security, defense capabilities, economic partnerships, and diplomatic influence, while preserving its desired goal of strategic balance.
Nepal is owed something more substantial than sympathy and more useful than a loan charging interest on damage it did not cause. Monitoring of unstable ice and glacial lakes concerns the whole basin and should be funded on a standing basis, with hydrological data crossing borders as a matter of routine rather than negotiation.

The value of a 180-day plan lies precisely in BNP's ability to make the early report card meaningful. If the clock was started by BNP itself, it cannot now complain that citizens are watching it.
But for the first time, the ghosts of Dhanmondi 32 have found a voice in a court of law. The question now is whether the system will listen -- or whether this too will become another act in the long-running performance of impunity.
Bangladesh’s possible entry into the Mecca Pact would be a consequential foreign-policy decision, testing whether the BNP government can translate its “Bangladesh First” policy into a strategic and politically sustainable choice.
By choosing Mirza Alamgir, the Prime Minister has placed institutional credibility above other considerations, and in doing so has strengthened the constitutional order his government is charged with restoring.
