Trade relation specially import of RAW materials does not mean being subservient and submissive and selling Bangladesh interest and independence as Awami League is doing. And doing business does not mean it is to serve only asymmetric indian benefit. Also, "progressive" does not mean only people who support and paddle indian imposition and asymmetric practices. So your effort to equate Awami league indian stooge act and sell out practices are just pure farce.
Now on cotton import, Bangladesh imports 41% of raw cotton from india. Without indian cotton there are other places to import but production will be bit more expansive. But if Bangladesh can raise productivity and cut cost in infrastructure then we can live without indian cotton. Saying without indian cotton Bangladeshi textile industry will be crippled is expression of india submissive mantra.
If anything it was BNP which banned yarn import from india through land port to protect local textile industry. It was BNP which did not allow bonded warehouse to stop flooding indian textile into local market.
Best option to get rid of Indian love and affection is to tear our country apart from the MAP and place it somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
Banning import of yarn had one very direct effect on the economy. It raised the price by making an artificial shortage of goods. This artificial shortage had certainly allowed the BNP cronies to make two extra pices at the cost of the country. Do you think you should support such a cunning ploy by BNP?
As I said in my previous post, BNP throws a few anti-India venoms in order to make its electorates happy, but it is in favour of doing greater trade with India. Do you remember what Nazmul BeHuda did with the Indian CNG? He earned about 4 lakhs of Taka in each CNG. No Indian govt would have allowed this kind of business. The GoI would have asked the CNG maker to build factory/assembling plant in its country instead of directly importing fully assembled CNG goodies.
Jamaatis do not like India for unknown reasons. But, they should agree that the GoI never lets the country's welfare to enrich a single fat BeHuda. Jamaatis should learn from India.
