I see your point. However, to fix relations with Bangladesh, the BJP must be dealt with. And the party has lost 2 straight Lok Sabha elections, and has lost a fair amount of popularity. We just have to go a little farther to discredit them.

Besides, this is less trying to endorse a party, and more about pointing out terroristic actions that they have been a part, and we likely have information on.

I hear you, but I cannot endorse it without contradicting a position I took a hard line on 7 years ago. In a case of a non-enemy nation with a functional democratic system (though I doubt any nation which is a functional democracy will ever actually be our enemy), we should not interfere in their internal politics. We do that, we open the door to them messing with us. It’s about national sovereignty,and it may well mean we have to put up with some assholism from the BJP.
