[Mirza Jatt]

Seriously Indian Jatt,

Understand the post....i directed my comment as Off-Topic....

You just type for the sake of typing dont you....

I know you directed your own post as off topic..and I told not to worry about it..cause have been seeing just off topic post from your side members, so i dont mind..and leave it on the mods..if we talk o topic..thre was no need of any quarrel...

Thanks for the advice....but i am well aware of what i am doing....


Cheers!!!

good for you..I'll keep giving my views on what I feel..

 

[Mirza Jatt]

Cool....!!! then i guess you all cried too because we spared you too....

Wow....two countries....with 'crying' border guards....what an irony....


Cheers!!!

I have no issue sayin that BDR did not retaliate..you can say it that way...BSF retaliated whenever there was an issue regarding its security...no one spared no one..BSF was more busy than its counterpart..that I know.

Of course it's on land encroachment, and my point is that it is REALLY NOT about land encroachment, it's about something else, about security forces being generally tough on everything to give the border villages a fright on what they can do if ppl don't fall in line. NOW does it seep into you???

You have made a very general comment....and the stuffs you have mentioned is very basic....and does not really justify what BSF reports....

I still feel you are out of the topic....


Cheers!!!

Look at it from this perspective. Today you'll talk abt farmers, tomorrow firing, day after some other incident. It's been a trend for years and will probably continue for years. My point is that all these individual instances are just symptoms. The underlying problem is something else and that 'something' according to me is attempts by the official establishment to solve an administrative issue by being tough.

Nice thoughts...

When someone from your country shares his personal views like the one highlighted below... kinda have to sympathize with what the BSF has to face!

Next time we will rape your Indian Hindu women, same as we did in the last 7 centuries. You the sons of our slaves!

The remarks were solicited by an indian. He tried to invoke the rape theory when he could not find out any logic to support BSF actions. Now, when you state that only an individual's remarks are good enough reason to support what BSF does with our border civilians, then it is not based on a sound logic, again.

BSF says BDR does it, BDR says that BSF does it.... Neither of that gives you the right to be a moron.

India’s provocation campaign takes a new turn

SUNDAY’S incident on the Jaintapur border in Sylhet, in which 10 Bangladeshis were wounded when members of India’s Khasia community opened fire from the other side of the frontier, had been in the offing for quite some time now. According to a report front-paged in New Age on Monday, the Khasia people have been tilling cropland about 200 metres inside Bangladesh since June 25, 17 hours after a high-level meeting between the Bangladesh Rifles and the Border Security Force of India. While the BSF and, by implication, the Indian government have paid little heed to the protests lodged by the BDR, the Khasia people have sought to make it clear that they would not stop their incursion into Bangladesh territory for tilling cropland. On June 26, a Bangladeshi teenager was wounded when he was shot from across the border. Death of, and injury to, Bangladeshis in gunshots fired from across the border is neither unprecedented nor isolated. In fact, Jaintapur has become a flashpoint of border skirmishes these days. The oddity about the latest incident is that this time around it was not the BSF soldiers but people of the Khasia community, themselves repressed and exploited by the Indian state, who had pulled the trigger. It seems that the Indian state and its ruling class have chosen to use an underprivileged and exploited section of the Indian society as fodders to carry on with its campaign of brazen provocation against Bangladesh.

The other disturbing facet of Sunday’s incident is the attack on the BDR outpost by people of the bordering villages. According to the New Age report, the agitated villagers also blocked the Sylhet-Tamabil road for two hours in protest at the unresponsive role of the BDR following the shooting by the Khasia people. They were also unhappy with the BDR for not allowing them to drive away the trespassing Indians by themselves. While the anger and frustration of the villagers is understandable, the BDR has certainly played a commendable role by not letting the villagers take charge. Had it not intervened the situation might very well have gone out of control and resulted in the loss of lives on both sides of the border. In fact, the BDR has consistently displayed its commitment to maintaining peace and order on the border despite relentless provocations and atrocities by the Indian border guards. Unfortunately, neither the BSF top brass nor the Indian government has shown any signs that may suggest that they are appreciative of the BDR’s role. Disturbingly still, the Awami League-led government, due to either inability or unwillingness to effectively raise the issue, has exposed the BDR to wrath of the people in the bordering villages. The BDR, already weakened by the February 25-26 rebellion and its aftermath, must not be projected as ‘villains’, so to speak, for the sake of greater national interest.

According to a report also front-paged on Monday, the government on Sunday initiated a move to lodge a protest with the Indian government against the shooting by the Khasia people. We are also told that the Indian high commissioner in Dhaka was called in by the government and asked to inform New Delhi of the development on the Jaintapur border. Regrettably, however, there are hardly any reasons for us to be reassured. After all, the incumbents have thus far appeared rather docile in their diplomatic exchanges with their Indian counterparts. In fact, the government’s foreign policy towards India has been criticised as being subservient by different quarters. Hence, it is time for the government to assertively raise the issue with India and persuade it to take effective actions so that such provocative actions by either the BSF or Indian nationals do not recur. At the same time, the government needs to clarify its position vis-à-vis India to the public and also take steps to inform the democratically-oriented citizens of India and beyond about New Delhi’s aggressive role. After all, mobilisation of public opinion across the borders is imperative to create pressure on New Delhi so that it refrains from such acts of aggression – for the sake of peace and stability in the region.

Indo-Bangla border limit talks in August
Tuesday, July 06,2010

DHAKA: The Bangladesh-India Joint Boundary Working Group (JBWG) will sit at the end of August after four years to address the longstanding border disputes between the two neighbouring countries.

"Many border disputes between the two nations remain unresolved as the committee could not sit for a long time," Home Secretary Abdus Sobhan Sikder told reporters at the secretariat.

Meanwhile, Rajeet Mitter, Indian high commissioner in Dhaka, called on the State Minister for Home Shamsul Haque Tuku at the latter's office and discussed the Sunday's incident of firing by Indian Khasias on Bangladeshis near Jaintapur border in Sylhet.

Tuku told journalists that it was just a courtesy call. But home ministry officials said the Indian high commissioner explained the whole event to the state minister.

The home secretary however said both the sides agreed that Bangladesh Rifles and Indian Border Security Force should talk with the people in the border area and maintain peace.

Asked whether Bangladesh will lodge a protest with India against the firing, Tuku said the Khasia people, not the BSF, attacked Bangladeshis.

The two countries formed the working group headed by the joint secretaries of their home ministries in 2002 to settle issues involving territories under adverse possession, enclaves and demarcation of border.

But the working group could not hold meetings regularly. It last sat in July 2006.

Bangladesh and India share a 4,098-kilometre porous border. Bangladesh expects India to ratify the Mujib-Indira Land Boundary Agreement soon and demarcate an area of 6.5 kilometres.

An official estimation shows that an area of 551.8 acres is under India's adverse possession while 226.81 acres are under adverse possession of Bangladesh. The issue traces back to the mid-1960s when an international boundary was drawn between Bangladesh (the then East Pakistan) and India.

About 110 enclaves are in Bangladesh and 55 in India, said officials.
