When reports started appearing in some sections of the press last week that an incumbent MP of the ruling party had gone to West Bengal, India and become incommunicado after a few days, there was no immediate reason for it to raise alarm. You felt for the MP’s daughter, making her appeals in the media and on social media, but somehow for some reason, it’s difficult to get too worried over an Awami League MP or even a mere member of the party being in India. Sooner or later, you just felt that he would turn up, safe and sound at that.
