Bangladesh was looking with hope, PM Modi fulfilled his 'dream'

Bangladesh's Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus has been looking towards India for the past several days. Yunus knows that one cannot stay for long after spoiling relations with India. This is the reason why he wants to have bilateral talks with PM Modi in the BIMSTEC summit to be held in Bangkok. However, India has not responded yet.

Not only this, Yunus wanted to come to India before going to China, but he did not get any response. Now, amidst all this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given some relief to Yunus and Bangladesh by writing a letter.

Actually, PM Modi has written a letter to Yunus on the occasion of Bangladesh's National Day.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written a letter to Yunus on the Independence Day of the neighboring country and congratulated him. He said that the spirit of the 1971 Liberation War continues to be the guiding force for relations between New Delhi and Dhaka.

PM Modi pens latter to Muhammad Yunus

PM Modi wrote to Yunus, the spirit of Bangladesh's liberation war continues to be the guiding force for our relations, which have flourished in many areas and are bringing concrete benefits to our people.

What did PM Modi write?

PM Modi wrote, we are committed to furthering this partnership based on our shared aspirations for peace, stability and prosperity and mutual sensitivity to each other's interests and concerns. Relations between New Delhi and Dhaka came under strain after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's Awami League government in Bangladesh on 5 August 2024.

Hasina moved to India after massive protests and Yunus took over as the chief advisor to the interim government in Bangladesh.

The Indian Army helped create independent Bangladesh in 1971. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan on 26 March 1971, resulting in a war and the birth of a new nation.

Will there be a meeting at the BIMSTEC Summit?

The PM Modi and Muhammad Yunus will participate in the BIMSTEC Summit to be held in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. This conference will be held on 3-4 April. Yunus wants talks with PM Modi, but no response has been given from India so far. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had told the parliamentary committee that Bangladesh's appeal is being considered.

On the other hand, Yunus is on a visit to China. But before this visit, he wanted to come to India. Yunus's press secretary Shafiqul Alam said that we really showed our interest and asked the Indian side for Yunus' bilateral visit to India in December last year itself. Unfortunately, we did not get any positive response. Yunus is the second leader from South Asia to reach China in four months. Before him, Nepal's Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli went to China on a four-day visit in December 2024.

What is India's stand on Bangladesh?

India does not seem to be in a mood to give much importance to Bangladesh. It has been sending messages to it from time to time. The Ministry of External Affairs told a parliamentary committee on Wednesday that apart from not accepting the persecution of minorities, the Bangladesh government has also tried to downplay the scale and nature of violence against Hindus after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government.
