'Relations with india changed...', said Tohid Hussain...?
Bangladesh's foreign affairs adviser Mohammad Tohid Hussain on saturday (30 november 2024) said that the country's relationship with india has changed since former prime minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted from power in August. He made this statement at a private university in Dhaka. Hussain said during this, "After august 5, relations with india have changed and this is the reality. Keeping this reality in mind, we have to build and continue our relationship with India. I am sure that india will understand how to take forward the relationship with bangladesh in the changed circumstances."
Sourness in relations with India
Relations between india and bangladesh have become tense since a supervised administration under the supervision of Nobel laureate Mohammad Yunus took power after the resignation of Sheikh Hasina in august this year following protests by students. In his address on saturday, Hussain alleged that the previous government led by Hasina had tried its best to address India's concerns. Hussain said, "The previous government (of Bangladesh) had tried its best to address India's concerns. We also had some issues. Problems are happening because our issues were not resolved." However, he did not give further details.
Hope to build good relations with India
Hussain expressed hope to establish good relations with india and said that bangladesh "does not want to harm anyone." He said, "We will remain optimistic that we will be able to establish good relations so that the interests of both sides can be protected. We do not want to harm anyone. We want that no one harms us either." He accused the indian media of exaggerating India-Bangladesh relations and requested the bangladesh media to do fair reporting in this matter.
