Instead of being jealous of Pakistan’s growing regional influence, perhaps you should examine Bangladesh’s longstanding strategic dependence on India. The world MOCKS and raise question on Bangladesh’s limited defense capabilities which deserve serious discussion and exposes your clear double standard.
While, Pakistan has spent decades building its defence capabilities despite sanctions and resource constraints, eventually becoming a nuclear power. And now strengthening its strategic partnerships through Makkah and Badar pacts, while no one LOOK at lapdog of India.
Hence, before lecturing about independence, look at your own country’s foreign policy. Sovereignty is not measured by slogans or by how loudly a country criticizes the United States; it is measured by its ability to make independent decisions in pursuit of its national interests.
