  • As Sheikh Hasina Finds Refuge In India, Ex-Envoy To Bangladesh Sees Centre Taking It ‘Very Favourably’ |

    Sheikh Hasina, described as a “good friend of India,” may receive favorable consideration from the central government if she chooses to stay, according to a former high commissioner of India to Bangladesh quoted by PTI on Tuesday. Hasina arrived at the Hindon airbase near Delhi on Monday, intending to travel to London, just hours after resigning as Bangladesh’s prime minister amid weeks of anti-government protests that resulted in nearly 300 deaths.

    Hasina’s travel plans to London have encountered obstacles due to some “uncertainties,” and it is unlikely she will leave India in the next few days, as stated by sources on Tuesday. Veena Sikri, the former envoy, mentioned that India has consistently assisted the people of Bangladesh with various challenges.

    Reflecting on historical ties, Sikri recalled the solidarity between Sheikh Hasina, the Awami League, and the forces of Liberation with India since 1971. The Awami League and India, along with the Muktijodha, fought together for Bangladesh’s liberation.

    Sikri said the deep empathy, friendship, respect, and understanding between the Awami League and India, as well as between the peoples of both nations, noting that India has always been supportive. With Sheikh Hasina now in India after being compelled to leave her country, Sikri expressed confidence that the Indian government would likely view her wish to stay in India very favorably.

    Sikri also noted that Hasina had previously resided in India following the assassination of her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a hero of Bangladesh’s independence who later became prime minister. Rahman was assassinated in August 1975.

    In conversation with PTI, Sikri said that Hasina had spent many years in India before returning to Bangladesh to lead the Awami League, leaving open the question of her continued stay in India. “Currently, Sheikh Hasina has been compelled to leave her country and is now in India. If she desires to stay, I am confident our government will look upon it very favorably,” added Sikri.

    The seasoned diplomat mentioned that Hasina had previously stayed in India following the assassination of her father, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a hero of Bangladesh’s independence, who later became the country’s prime minister. Rahman was assassinated in August 1975.

    Speaking to PTI, Sikri said, “She spent a considerable time in India, many years, before returning to Bangladesh to lead the Awami League. The decision whether she should stay or not should be deferred, allowing her to make the choice and the situation to develop.”

    The former ambassador also noted, “Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been a close ally of India, working intimately with its people across various states, including West Bengal, Assam, and Meghalaya. I see no issue with that.”

    “It’s her decision whether to stay. There are reports she may wish to move to London to be with her sister, who resides there. Perhaps they are waiting for clearance from the UK government. The situation is highly volatile and complex,” she stated.

    “In my opinion, if she continues her stay in India, it wouldn’t pose a significant problem,” she concluded. Hasina, aged 76, resigned as the prime minister of Bangladesh and departed amidst mass protests against her administration. She then arrived in India en route to London, as diplomatic sources reported on Monday.

    When questioned about the potential impact of Hasina’s stay in India on future relations with the new government, Sikri mentioned that while the views of other political parties like the BNP (Bangladesh Nationalist Party) or Jamaat-i-Islami Bangladesh on India are well-known, dialogue remains open.

    People say that as soon as the temple committee played DJ in the morning, a part of the house collapsed. One reason for the accident was the loud sound of the DJ. Due to this, the dilapidated wall started shaking and collapsed.

    According to councillor Raja Yadav, the wall was made of mud and was very old. It had become weak due to continuous rain. The wall collapsed due to the loud sound of the DJ system and increased vibrations. According to people, the mud house was supported by bamboo and beams, which were gradually weakening.

  • India Finally Breaks Silence On Bangladesh Crisis, Hasina’s Sudden Arrival; Every Word From Jaishankar’s Parliament Address |

    India is closely monitoring the situation of minorities in Bangladesh and maintains “close and continuous” contact with the Indian community there via its diplomatic missions, the government announced on Tuesday. In statements made in both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar expressed India’s deep concern for the restoration of law and order in the neighboring country and mentioned that India’s border forces have been instructed to stay exceptionally vigilant due to the complex and evolving situation.

    Here’s what Jaishankar Said On Bangladesh Crisis, Hasina’s Sudden Arrival:

    Jaishankar addressed the MPs regarding the sudden request by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to visit India “for the moment.” Hasina arrived in India on Monday evening aboard a Bangladesh Air Force aircraft, likely en route to London or another European destination, following her resignation as prime minister amid the country descending into uncertainty after violent protests over job quotas.

    “On August 5, despite a curfew, demonstrators gathered in Dhaka. It is understood that following a meeting with security establishment leaders, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina decided to resign. She then requested, at very short notice, to come to India temporarily,” Jaishankar explained. “The request for flight clearance from Bangladesh authorities was received concurrently. She arrived in Delhi last evening. The situation in Bangladesh continues to develop,” he added.

    Jaishankar also noted that on August 5, Bangladesh Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman addressed the nation, discussing the assumption of responsibility and the formation of an interim government.

    “The Indian community in Bangladesh, estimated at 19,000, of which approximately 9,000 are students, is being closely monitored through our diplomatic missions. However, the majority of these students returned to India in July,” the external affairs minister informed.

    In terms of India’s diplomatic presence, in addition to the High Commission in Dhaka, it has assistant high commissions in Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna and Sylhet, he informed both the Houses. “It is our expectation that the host government will provide the required security protection for these establishments. We look forward to their normal functioning once the situation stabilizes,” Jaishankar said.

    Jaishankar Says India Monitoring Minorities’ Situation In Bangladesh

    He said India is also monitoring the situation with regard to the status of minorities. There are reports of initiatives by various groups and organisations to ensure their protection and well-being, he said. “We welcome that, but will naturally remain deeply concerned till law and order is visibly restored. Our border guarding forces have also been instructed to be exceptionally alert in view of this complex situation,” Jaishankar said.

    Over the past day, India has maintained regular communication with Dhaka authorities. The External Affairs Minister sought the House’s understanding and support on sensitive matters concerning a key neighbor, emphasizing the longstanding national consensus on this issue.

    Minister Jaishankar highlighted the enduring closeness of India-Bangladesh relations, spanning many governments and decades. He expressed shared concerns over the recent unrest and instability in Bangladesh, cutting across political lines.

    He detailed the tensions, divisions, and polarization in Bangladesh’s politics post the January 2024 elections, which fueled student protests beginning in June. The escalating violence, targeting public infrastructure and disrupting transport, persisted into July.

    The minister reported ongoing efforts to promote restraint and resolve the situation through dialogue, engaging with various political entities.

    Despite a Supreme Court ruling on July 21 to modify the government job quota system, public dissent continued. The minister noted that subsequent decisions further inflamed the situation, culminating in demands for Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation.

    On August 4, the situation escalated dramatically with intensified attacks on police and state infrastructure, leading to heightened violence nationwide. He raised particular concern over the targeting of properties linked to the ruling regime and the worrying impact on minorities.
