There is report about embattled MP from UK’s Tory Party, Bob Stewart of hiding his directorship of a foreign defense company controlled by a controversial Azerbaijani businessman while sitting on Parliament’s influential defense committee.

Tarique Rahman, key leader of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), who has been spending millions of dollars towards lobbyist activities in the United States, United Kingdom and other European nations is a convicted terrorist.

Since 1947, Pakistan has been a failure from independence, as it was always abour fanatical religion and terrorism and its very creation was based on religious hatred, anti-Hindu agendas.

Bangladesh Nationalist Party also is looking for hiring journalists and columnists in a number of major publications in the US, while Tarique Rahman plans to do similar propaganda in a number of major newspapers in Britain.

Bangladesh’s progress and prosperity shall be at stake, if Sheikh Hasina’s government is either overthrown through undemocratic process or if Islamist forces such as BNP manages in stealing results in their favor with the direct help of the Biden administration.

Although Islamists and so-called secularists are branding this film as mere propaganda stuff, in reality such incidents have happened in the past and still happening, where innocent young girls sneak away from their homes and join terrorist groups such as Islamic State (ISIS) thus finally ending up as sex slaves.

American policymakers now need to reboot their Pakistan policy and its decades-old support towards Islamabad, as such relations can only risk America’s own interest in the region, as Pakistan has always been playing the role of a backstabber.

Should BNP refrain from participating in the upcoming election and repeat its boycott policy as it had in 2014, the next general elections shall be mainly contested between ruling Awami League and main opposition in the current parliament – Jatiya Party, a party formed by military dictator General Hussain Muhammad Ershad.

The Biden administration wants the election to be participated by Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamaat-e-Islami, while they are aware that BNP shall not participate in the election unless it is held under a caretaker government comprising its chosen individuals.

The next general election may witness unexpected violence – weeks or months before the election day.
