 "India-Bangladesh ties saw 'some challenges' due to 'propaganda', but are in 'good shape': Yunus")
On Monday, chief adviser Muhammad Yunus stated that relations between Bangladesh and India “remain positive,” with no deterioration in bilateral ties, despite “some challenges” caused by “propaganda.”
“Some conflicts had been seen mid-way. I would say, some clouds were seen. These clouds mostly came through propaganda. Others will judge the sources,” he stated as Dhaka’s interim government approaches the end of its seven-month tenure.
We are trying to overcome these misunderstandings. There is no problem in our basic relationship (with India),” Yunus told BBC Bangla in an interview.
New Delhi’s response to his statement that bilateral ties are “in good shape” remains to be seen.
Since the overthrow of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5 last year, India has frequently highlighted targeted attacks on Hindus, their temples, and businesses in Bangladesh, which Yunus has refuted on several times.
In Monday’s interview, Yunus stated that connections between Bangladesh and India are “historically, politically, and economically” so deep that even after recent unfortunate events, they are “in good shape” and “will remain good in the future”.
He continued: “There is no alternative to maintaining good relations… no scope of deviating from them.” Yunus emphasised the “huge interdependence” between the two neighbours, stating that they had “continuous communication”.
He also discussed law and order issues, reforms and elections, the emergence of a new student party, and political events in Bangladesh.
