NDI
With reference to the constant presence of the America-based National Democratic Institute (NDI) in the political scenario in Bangladesh, I would like to point out something that's often not apparent. While the NDI is a foreign non-profit based organisation in a first world democracy, we should not be fooled about its bona fides. The organisation is the international outreach arm of the Democratic Party and, as such, dedicated to a global left-of-the-centre agenda. It is not inconceivable, therefore, that the organisation always tacitly supports the relatively more leftist political forces in any country. It may be a good organisation but it is not a neutral one by far.
