Must face rule of law

 

Hopefully Bangladesh is able to sort out from the spiraling crisis and stabilize. There are hopeful signs. There is also need for transparency on how outside forces are trying to manipulate the crisis. Hopefully situation returns back to normal. Meanwhile Sheikh Hasina must face rule of law, a fair trial arbitrated by international agency (if need be, for transparency and fairness). India must stand with people of Bangladesh in its efforts for consolidation of democracy and justice, hence should extend full cooperation and shouldn’t be seen as negative influence in this crucial juncture. The longer she stays in India more it is a liability, as an immediate neighbor with high stakes sharing a long sensitive border and much of history India shouldn’t be seen as interfering. She could choose a neutral faraway country until situation cools down and normalcy restored.
