Bangladesh: Jatiya Party denounces blaming India for floods, calls New Delhi to hand over Hasina

India TV News  

Dhaka: Jatiya Party chairman Ghulam Muhammed Quader has denounced those who blame India for the flood situation in Bangladesh as a "wrong narrative" that exploits existing anti-India sentiments to wrongly attribute responsibility on New Delhi for a natural calamity. Quader, who was Leader of the Opposition in the last Bangladesh Parliament, which was dissolved on August 6, a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country following deadly protests against her government over a controversial quota system in jobs, asserted that Hasina should be extradited from India and tried in a Bangladeshi court for all the crimes committed by her and her regime. “India out” campaign in Bangladesh In an interview with news agency PTI, the former Bangladeshi cabinet minister said that while people in both countries want good relations, it’s important to stop acting as if one country is the "supreme lord" and instead treat each other as equal partners. Replying to a query about the rise in anti-India sentiments despite India being a “time-tested friend of Bangladesh,” Quader said, “The anti-India sentiment is not against its people but against the policymakers.” “The anger is not against Indian people per se; there are still people here who desire good people-to-people relations.
