Mending Delhi’s ties with Dhaka

Hindustan Times  

Foreign secretary Vikram Misri’s visit to Dhaka — the first senior Indian functionary to travel to Bangladesh since the fall of the Sheikh Hasina regime in August — is a welcome pause since the ties between the two neighbours have been increasingly turning cold, if not hostile. Expectedly, the conversations in Dhaka on Monday — between Misri and the head of Bangladesh’s caretaker administration, Muhammad Yunus, de facto foreign minister Touhid Hossain, and Misri’s counterpart, Mohammad Jashim Uddin — did not yield new ground. Both sides laid out their concerns and demands: Misri conveyed India’s discomfort over the reported attack on minorities while highlighting India’s support for a democratic and inclusive Bangladesh; Jashim Uddin refuted the reports of attacks as disinformation and described New Delhi expressing concern as interference in Bangladesh’s internal affairs.
