The advisors of the current interim government of Bangladesh have been continuously threatening India with the Chicken Neck. Initially, the government’s head, Yunus, issued this threat before he had even taken office. Then, it was Hasnat Abdullah.

Last night, students from a renowned university in the country gathered together, echoing the same threat. Moreover, this is constantly seen on social media as well.

I’m wondering how the people of Bangladesh have become so confident so quickly. What exactly is happening? Where is this newfound courage coming from?

Yesterday, I watched the press briefing by Shafiqul Alam, the Press Secretary, following a meeting between the Chief Advisor and India’s High Commissioner. The poor man’s voice kept getting choked up. It was clear how much effort he was putting into carefully editing his words. For some reason, it seemed like the country’s representatives were just one step away from bowing down to the Indian High Commissioner. They know how difficult the government’s position is.

Meanwhile, people are relentlessly threatening India to take over the “Seven Sisters.” They keep reminding India that they will seize the “Chicken Neck.”

I’m utterly astonished! I can’t help but think, if a single “little squeak” from one sister can almost sink half the country, leaving no room even for rats, what would happen if all seven sisters squeaked together?

Can’t they speak with some thought and consideration?

Some people are even talking about building another dam 40 miles downstream of the Farakka Barrage.

But do they have any idea what the Farakka Barrage is? Even if they built a dam 80 miles downstream, it wouldn’t stop the water. I wonder why Bangladeshi politicians lack such basic knowledge.

The Farakka Barrage was constructed in an enormous area that can hold a vast amount of water. Even if they built a dam 80 miles away, it would only fill with one-tenth of the water.

The area is plain! There’s no environment for building a dam! Where is the space? Our country is densely populated! Let’s assume the water could be held back, but where would the people in the area go? Who can stop floodwaters? The river’s water flows into the sea; that’s the law of nature! Why are the people of this country so impulsive?

Why are you making India laugh at you by talking about the “Chicken Neck” and building a dam 40 miles away? Please, stop. Think before you speak. If you need more basic knowledge, read some general knowledge books.

Don’t go to war with India without proper reason.
