Onnesha reports that some members of Indian Border Security Force (BSF) sneaked into Bangladesh soil and started firing when they were intercepted by the villagers. Three Bangladeshi villagers including an infant and the mother were killed.
Teeth Maestro informs that on request from Pakistan UAE has imposed a ban on the airing of Geo TV program ‘Meray Mutabiq’ by Dr. Shahid Masood. The blogger comments: “I’m sure he may have been touching on some sensitive topics which more-or-less will most likely have to do with the NRO and Mr. Asif Ali Zardari being the top celebrity featured on that dis-honest list.”

This is terrible! Is this kind of thing common in the region!?
Yes Daniel it’s really terrible.
Indian Border Security Force (BSF) did this kind of acts previously too. It’s not new for Bangladesh. Bangladeshi Government protest it and complained at the highest label of Indian Government previously but nothing changed. Still it is happening. And the sufferers are poor civilians of Bangladesh who live in village near Bangladesh-India border.
This is almost unbelievable! But we know that people can be real — REAL IMPRESSIVELY — nasty sometimes. At least these absurd incidents are coming into the light now. I hope it makes any difference.
Sad things are happening in the region. When will all this violence stop?
Best,
D.D.
