India’s policy towards Bangladesh ‘completely failed’, says BNP leader Amir Khasru

The Hindu  

India’s official policy towards Bangladesh “completely failed” as it was dominated by an “ecosystem” consisting of powerful civil servants, “plugged-in” retired diplomats, ideologues and journalists who prioritised security without feeling the political pulse on the ground, said one of the top decision-makers of the main Opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party. Speaking to The Hindu in Dhaka this week, Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, head of the foreign affairs cell of the BNP, urged India to appreciate the prevailing popular sentiments in Bangladesh, arguing that all the three elections in the last decade in Bangladesh were “fraudulent,” where India played the role of an “enabler”. Watch: The story of Sheikh Hasina He said the bloodshed that Bangladesh witnessed in the last days of Sheikh Hasina’s government could have been “absolutely” avoided if a free and fair election were held in January this year. He further clarified that the ecosystem that he blamed for dominating India’s relation with Bangladesh “consisted of a group of powerful civil servants, retired bureaucrats plugged in to the policy circle, journalists and ideologues who possibly also personally benefitted” and said, “They completely failed to understand the psyche of Bangladesh.” He appreciated West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her concern for the protesters in Bangladesh and expressed satisfaction saying that after the fall of Sheikh Hasina on August 5, he is hearing that there has been some introspection about the Indian policy towards Bangladesh.
