Due to the kind of situation in Bangladesh, resentment is being seen among the people in India also. There has been an increase in violence in Bangladesh since the announcement of the election date. Especially in Bangladesh, the brutality with which a minority Hindu youth was killed and then his body was set on fire is being widely criticized.
Meanwhile, former diplomat Mahesh Kumar Sachdev has had a special conversation with IANS regarding the situation in Bangladesh. Regarding the tension between India and Bangladesh, former diplomat Mahesh Kumar Sachdev said, ‘There may be tension for some time before the elections to be held on February 12, but in the long run, the logic of good neighborhood and solid economic coordination will maintain the relations between the two countries.’
He said, ‘The relationship between Bangladesh and India is historical. Both are part of the South Asian region, and there is a deep friendship between the people of the two countries, but there are still some challenges. That’s the way I look at it, and according to me, these challenges are for some time, and they are due to political reasons. Hopefully these will be resolved soon.
Regarding the impact of this tension between the two countries, Mahesh Kumar Sachdev said, ‘I do not think that there will be any big problem in the long run, but in the short term it is clear that there is tension. This cannot be denied. Sheikh Hasina earlier supported India and has been the Prime Minister of Bangladesh for a long time. This has happened regarding his deportation, because he is in India and his opponents are currently in power, or close to power because elections are to be held in Bangladesh on 12th February, hence, due to political reasons, there is a wave of anti-India, which is quite condemnable. Such people are behaving irresponsibly. They are making the situation more difficult in their own country. Be it the society or their opposition to the policy of secularism.
Kumar Sachdev said, ‘They want to show that Bangladesh is the opposite of India. This is a very convenient way, because he has very few things in the name of achievements. They have negative achievements and want to blame a big neighbor like India for turning the tide of public discontent. This is a short term method. Bangladesh cannot live without India because it has a lot of dependence on India.
Regarding the concern about the threat related to Bangladesh, he said, ‘Due to the conditions being created for Islamic extremists in Bangladesh, India may have to face a problem in its neighboring and neighboring states as well. These problems are not new. India has faced terrorism from outside India many times in the last 40 years. Bangladesh has been faced with this before and again the situation gets complicated in this way, and Bangladesh becomes a place of refuge, which wants to hit India in a thousand pieces. India needs to be careful about this.
