Bangladesh ministers cancel India visit

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: In what is being seen as a direct international fallout of the passage of the Citizenship Amendment Bill, Bangladesh’s foreign minister A K Abdul Momen and home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal have cancelled their scheduled official visits to India. He added that Bangladesh and India currently enjoyed close friendly relations, terming it as a “golden chapter” in bilateral ties, and “so, naturally, our people expect that India won’t do anything that could create anxiety”. The Bangladesh foreign minister had on Wednesday also met envoys from Japan and United States to apprise them of the situation arising out of CAB and express Dhaka’s concerns and unhappiness. Worst is that all this has been put in the CAB, which is India’s legislation, reflecting Bangladesh in poor light,” an official in Bangladesh government said.
