For months now, your newspaper has written about the government's failure to protect the Ahmediyya community of Bangladesh from harassment. I wonder if the government is aware of the New York Times' story this week on Bangladesh, entitled "The next Islamist Revolution"? As it is, Bangladesh is losing out on foreign investment to both India and China. The few foreign companies still willing to come here and help us modernise will surely stay away if such negative portrayals of the country continue in the international media.

This is what we pay for failing to protect our religious minorities.
