India keeps a close eye on every nefarious activity of Bangladesh, will Yunus do something big before Trump’s arrival?

New Delhi : Since the political turmoil in Bangladesh, its relations with India have also been affected. Now the Dhaka High Court’s decision to acquit BNP acting president Tariq Rahman, former minister Lutfozzaman Babar and others in the 2004 grenade attack may further deteriorate relations between the two countries. At the same time, India is keeping an eye on the steps of the Yunus government. Along with this, the question is whether the Yunus government will take some big steps before Trump’s visit. However, it remains to be seen whether this decision paves the way for Rahman’s return from Britain to Bangladesh. Rahman is currently living in exile in Britain. Rahman is accused of working with Babar to encourage anti-India rebel groups in the North-East to operate from Bangladeshi soil.

Accused of protecting radicals and terrorists

In 2004, Babar was the Minister of State for Home Affairs under the BNP-Jamaat regime. At that time an attempt was made to smuggle 10 trucks full of weapons through Chittagong port. These weapons were meant for ULFA and other north-eastern insurgent groups. This was foiled by alert Indian agencies. Babar is also accused of protecting radicals and terrorists. Sources said Rehman’s role in the 10 trucks case cannot be exonerated.

Rahman may participate in parliamentary elections

Rahman wants to return to Dhaka to contest the parliamentary elections, but delaying the elections will hurt BNP’s electoral prospects. Critics believe that the Muhammad Yunus government is working on a formula to keep the Awami League and BNP out of power and promote a third front that could include Islamists.

The arrest of sadhus and journalists, desecration of the Indian flag on a university campus and strong statements from advisers in the Yunus administration could pose challenges to India’s economic and cross-border connectivity initiatives. These were implemented from 2009 under the Sheikh Hasina regime.

India’s eye on Yunus government

Our associate newspaper The Economic Times has learned that the Indian government is carefully monitoring the steps taken by the Yunus regime against Indian interests. Along with this, it is considering taking appropriate steps. Experts on India-Bangladesh affairs say that the Yunus regime may plan to take a tough stance against India before the swearing-in of Donald Trump, as Washington’s support for Dhaka may end.
