Don't seek foreign help over internal crisis

Dhaka University Teachers Association (Duta) yesterday urged the country's politicians not to seek external help to solve internal issues and called upon foreign representatives not to assume the role of a politician on the pretext of brokering solutions to domestic crises.
"This kind of action will rather harm us as a country, nation and our independence, sovereignty, self-respect, which were earned after a nine-month battle," said a statement signed by Duta President Prof Farid Uddin Ahmed and Secretary Prof ASM Maksud Kamal.
The release said Bangladesh was trying to purge itself of stigmas through the execution of war criminals following due legal procedure. "In this critical time, the recent diplomatic moves taken by some representatives of our friendly countries have left us embarrassed as a nation."
