Bangladesh can play its trump card now
The government has decided to construct the Padma bridge with its own resources. It may be presumed that now they can not come out of the self-created trap. However, I have a suggestion to the government. Very often our defence strategists, civil society and political leaders say that our proposed deep sea port at Sonadia is strategically very important for this region and is also very lucrative for giant international power players for their global interest.
If my assumption is correct, then time has come for our government to play the trump card by inviting international donors to construct the deep sea port tagged with Padma bridge under a single package. In doing so, we may also do a little bit of tail twisting of international power players who (as our leaders say) always twist our tail to dictate terms in their favour.
