A reasonably balanced piece.

No body claims BD is perfect but the misinformation and anti state propaganda by AL and their Indian masters needs to be dispelled. No issues with criticising the government of BD, its corruption, the culture of nepotism, but the sinister attempt by India and AL goons to label BD as a failed state can not and should not be tolerated.
