Despite spending very little time in Dhaka, she attempted to present herself as an authority on the events in Bangladesh. She attended the press conference held by Mohammad Ali Arafat, the state minister for information and broadcasting, at the BTV premises for foreign media to showcase the extent of state property damage, and she was convinced. How can you so confidently assert that a third party was involved? @debarati_guha , did it ever occur to you that this could be a mass uprising of Bangladeshis who have had enough of this authoritarian-kleptocratic regime for 15 years? Oh, wait, why would you think that way when our neighbouring country has kept her in power by brute force to extract every last bit out of these 148,460 square kilometers?
This is why you so confidently state that "no political parties have asked for Hasina's resignation." This statement shows a complete and utter lack of awareness on your part, as the main opposition @bdbnp78 has called for her resignation, and 26 parties have concurred with that call. The people of Bangladesh are calling for her resignation.
If we needed further proof that sheโ€™s a spin doctor for the @albd1971 , her emphasis on the farcical National Day of Mourning was it. No, the people of Bangladesh did not observe this. Did you not see that Bangladeshi social media had red profile photos in defiance of this cynical call for mourning?
What is more dangerous is her normalization of torture in the name of remand by using both-sideism. "We have seen there was torture also when the opposition was in power..." This is typical apologist behavior. She also says that police shouldnโ€™t have shot at students. So, Ms. Guha, itโ€™s okay to shoot at four-year-olds and anyone else other than students? Itโ€™s okay to shoot at โ€œthird partiesโ€?

When the interviewer asked if there would be accountability for the violence against the protesters, she mentioned the โ€œnational day of mourningโ€ and the potential ban on @BJI_Official -Shibir. So she has concluded that it was Jamaat-Shibir who caused the carnage. If she had just a little charm and a better grasp of the English language, Iโ€™m sure she would have said, โ€œThat's it, guysโ€”signing offโ€ฆnothing to see here. Sayonaraโ€ฆโ€
Ms. Guhaโ€™s six-minute segment just undid the decent work that @DeutscheWelle has done on the state-sponsored violence in Bangladesh since the 15th of July. @dwnews couldn't find a more inarticulate and unintelligent person if they tried. She waffled and at times came across as if she didnโ€™t even understand the questions.
Please, DW, consider not to involve her in your coverage of Bangladesh.
