India-Bangladesh News / Bangladesh government wants good relations with India, but has placed a condition

India-Bangladesh News: Political instability in Bangladesh since the coup of the Sheikh Hasina government and the increasing atrocities on minority Hindus have raised concerns not only within the country but also internationally. Bangladesh's relations with India have soured, and attacks on Hindu minorities have further complicated the situation.

Stand of the interim government of Bangladesh

The interim government formed after the coup has recently expressed its desire for strong and respectful relations with all countries, including India. Foreign Affairs Advisor Mohammad Tauheed Hussain said that Bangladesh wants to build good relations with India on the basis of mutual respect and equality.

According to the 'Dhaka Tribune' report, Tauheed Hussain stressed in meetings held in Raipura and Belabo upazilas of Narsingdi that Bangladesh has already sent a message to India. This message expresses the desire for good and mutually beneficial relations.

Government's emphasis on elections and reforms

Tauheed Hussain said that the interim government is committed to addressing the concerns of the public and students. The government is implementing extensive reforms to ensure fair elections. After these reforms, power will be transferred to elected leaders.

He also emphasized on the fair governance of the interim government and said that his priority is to resolve the country's political crisis and improve Bangladesh's image internationally.

Atrocities on minorities: Issue raised in US Parliament

Discussions have intensified on international forums regarding the attacks on Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. Recently, Indian-origin MP Shri Thanedar raised this issue in the US Parliament. He said that attacks are being carried out on Hindu temples, idols and minority Hindus in Bangladesh.

Thanedar said in the US House of Representatives, "Now the time has come for the US government and Congress to take action to protect Hindus in Bangladesh. The majority mob has ruined the religious places of Hindus and people who are peacefully practicing religion."

Impact on India-Bangladesh relations

The coup of the Sheikh Hasina government and attacks on Hindus have affected the relations between India and Bangladesh. India is Bangladesh's closest neighbor and economic partner. Despite Tauheed Hussain's willingness to improve relations with India, uncertainty remains over these relations.

Challenges and prospects ahead

The interim government of Bangladesh is facing several challenges:

Ensuring the safety of minorities: Preventing attacks on Hindus and other minorities and guaranteeing their safety.

Conducting fair elections: Transparent and fair elections are necessary to bring stability to the country and to get international support.

Improving relations with India: Reducing the growing tension between India and Bangladesh and strengthening economic and strategic partnership.

Conclusion

The political and social crisis in Bangladesh has deepened after the coup of the Sheikh Hasina government. The interim government has talked about reforms and improving international relations, but international pressure is increasing over the events happening on the ground.

The role of big countries like the US and India can be important in stabilizing the situation in Bangladesh. However, the safety of Hindu minorities and conducting fair elections will be a big test for the credibility of the interim government.
