In 2016, the world had high hopes for Myanmar. Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi had gone from prisoner to the de facto leader of a country slowly moving towards democracy. In 2017, innocent civilians in Myanmar are watching their homes burn. The military is killing Rohingya people and forcing entire communities to leave their country. Some 4,00,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh. Myanmar is perpetrating an ethnic cleansing campaign, which if not stopped, will become the original sin of Myanmar's state.

However, Rohingya influx is a further addition to the already existing problem of Chittagong hill Tracts. It is beyond Bangladesh's capacity to accommodate millions of foreign nationals for an uncertain period. Health hazard is rampant, many Rohingya are HIV or Hepatitis B patients. How Bangladesh would check contamination and spread those dangerous diseases in the mainstream populations in near future. People of Bangladesh who are poor themselves, have provided food, shelter etc, to these suffering stricken people. But this generosity can never be taken as a sacrifice of their national interests. Right at the moment 'Public eye' in Bangladesh must be sharp and public option, decisive to protect interests of their motherland achieved in blood and cry flowing from all the corners of the land in 1971.
