'Bangladesh's relations with India at a low': Yunus slams Sheikh Hasina's 'unfriendly' remarks

India TV News  

Dhaka: Expressing displeasure over former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's remarks from India, Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, who is heading the interim government in Dhaka, said the comments are not good for either of the countries and that Bangladesh's relations with India are "at a low". In an exclusive interview with news agency PTI, Yunus, 84, said, "If India wants to keep her until the time Bangladesh wants her back, the condition would be that she has to keep quiet." He asserted that while Bangladesh values strong ties with India, New Delhi must move "beyond the narrative that portrays every other political party except Awami League as Islamist and that the country will turn into Afghanistan without Sheikh Hasina". Stressing that Hasina's remarks were not good either for Bangladesh or India, Yunus said it was an "unfriendly gesture".
