What did the Indian High Commissioner say about the new government?
High Commissioner appointed in Dhaka, Prannoy Verma said on Sunday (February 22) that India is keen to take forward talks with the new government of Bangladesh. He has responded by actively re-engaging with Dhaka on behalf of India. Let us tell you that BNP had secured two-thirds majority in the elections, after which Tariq Rehman took oath as the Prime Minister. Before him, Mohammad Yunus was handling the responsibility of the interim government for about 18 months. Relations between India and Bangladesh remained full of ups and downs during Yunus’s tenure. During this period, relations between the two countries had reached their lowest level since 1971.
