Bangladeshi artefacts

The latest information from Paris is extremely alarming. The controversial Guimet Museum has reportedly decided to sell the whole lot of artefacts sent from Bangladesh for exhibition. According to various sources, Guimet authorities have already finalised at least three deals of selling extremely precious and the rarest Bangladeshi artefacts to prospective buyers. Initial value of these three items have already been fixed at US$ 93 million. Guimet has also expelled the representatives from Bangladesh museum and abandoned any possibility of sending the artefacts back to Dhaka. It is also reported that a number of influential people are involved in such trafficking of national assets abroad, defying massive reactions and protests from Bangladeshis. Although the interim government repeatedly promised to the nation that the artefacts would return to Dhaka soon, it is already understood that the promise will not be fulfilled.
