In a Facebook post titled "Do We Have Strength?" Mahfuz Alam argued that instead of demolishing statues, counteracting enemies with strength, strategy, and dominance should be the priority. He emphasized that regional and global dominance must be addressed strategically, stating that Sheikh Hasina and the ruling League are extensions of regional hegemony. He argued that counter-hegemony can only be built through realistic state planning, skilled human resource development both domestically and in the diaspora, and strengthening state institutions. He criticized the focus on destruction and instead called for constructive efforts. Additionally, he blamed regional dominance for the ongoing political turmoil triggered by Hasina’s statements and reactions, urging a more strategic response to the challenges.
