What did the BNP leader say about India-Bangladesh relations?
The BNP leader said, "We want to start a new chapter in India-Bangladesh relations and ensuring Hasina's return to bangladesh will be a new chapter in bilateral relations. Both Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League are condemned here and supporting them will further deteriorate the perception about india in Bangladesh."
Alamgir said that if india does not ensure Hasina's return to bangladesh, bilateral relations between the two countries will deteriorate. He said, "There is already anger against india here, as it is seen as a supporter of Sheikh Hasina's autocratic government. If you ask anyone in bangladesh, he will say that india did not do the right thing by giving shelter to Sheikh Hasina.''
In New Delhi, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir jaiswal was asked on friday (30 august 2024) whether the interim government of bangladesh has made a formal request for Hasina's extradition, but he did not give a clear answer on this. jaiswal had said, "The former prime minister of bangladesh came to india as per the information given at the last moment for security reasons. We have nothing more to say on this matter." When asked about the india Out campaign in bangladesh, Alamgir said that there is clearly anger against india, because it never bothered to establish relations with the people of the country, but was satisfied only by establishing relations with the Awami League.
