US urges India, Bangladesh to resolve differences peacefully

Hindustan Times  

The United States has called for India and Bangladesh to resolve their differences peacefully. “We want to see all parties resolve their disagreements peacefully,” Miler said, responding to a question on the recent visit of India's foreign secretary to Bangladesh. During his visit earlier this week, foreign secretary Vikram Misri expressed New Delhi's concerns regarding the safety and security of minorities in Bangladesh. He also said that both sides used the discussions to take stock of bilateral ties and that he emphasised India’s desire for a “positive, constructive and mutually beneficial relationship” with Bangladesh. India-Bangladesh relations have been strained since former premier Sheikh Hasina stepped down in the face of widespread protests spearheaded by student groups in August, and the subsequent formation of the interim government led by Yunus.
