Bangladesh Prime Minister Tariq Rahman has sent an important message to India. Expressing concern over the incident of killing of two Bangladeshi citizens on the border with India on Sunday (May 10, 2026), the senior advisor to the PM said that we want to establish ‘friendly relations’ with New Delhi.
Border Security Force (BSF) shot two suspected Bangladeshi smugglers in Sepahijala district of Tripura on Friday night. Later, both the bodies were handed over to their families through Kamalasagar border post in the presence of BSF and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) officials.
Is Tariq Rehman winking at India?

India appointed Dinesh Trivedi as High Commissioner
After Mohammad Yunus came to power in Bangladesh, relations with India deteriorated and now elections have been held there. After the victory of BNP, Tariq Rahman has become the Prime Minister of Bangladesh and now he wants to improve relations with Delhi. Meanwhile, India has appointed former Union Minister Dinesh Trivedi as the next High Commissioner of India to Bangladesh so that the old warmth can return in the relations between the two countries.
