Can I put some humble questions before him (i) Doesn't he consider our diplomats part of Bangladesh government? (ii) If yes, then shouldn't the blame of this failure go on an equal measure to those highly polished people?

We have read many such stories of 'unacceptable behaviour' by our diplomats and their family members in newspapers and other media at home and abroad.
