Sheikh Hasina's public remarks 'not conducive' to fostering India-Bangladesh ties: Foreign Adviser

India TV News  

Dhaka: Bangladesh interim government's foreign affairs adviser Md Touhid Hossain said it wanted to work closely with India to foster better relations, but deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's recent public remarks were "not conducive" to fostering better bilateral ties. During the meeting, Hossain said Bangladesh wants to work closely with India to promote bilateral relations and stressed more ‘people-centric engagement’ in the upcoming days. Referring to Hasina’s recent public statement, Hossain conveyed to the envoy that "such statements from India are not conducive to fostering better bilateral relations.” He mentioned that Bangladesh witnessed a second liberation last week through a mass uprising spearheaded by valiant students. Hossain underlined key issues with India like stopping “border killing, the conclusion of Teesta water sharing agreement, and ensuring supply of essential commodities.” He told Verma that the most pressing task before this interim government is to bring normalcy to the overall law and order situation and bring the economy on track.
