India Bangladesh relations

Former envoy Veena Sikri warns Bangladesh’s election cannot be credible without Awami League participation, citing constitutional breaches and rising threats to minorities.

Sajeeb Wazed says the former US government funded regime change in Bangladesh, praises India for saving Sheikh Hasina, and rejects the Yunus regime’s “illegal” death-sentence trial.

India has tactfully distanced itself from the “International Crimes Tribunal” verdict against Sheikh Hasina, stressing stability and dialogue while avoiding any validation of the ruling.

India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has warned Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus to “watch his words,” signaling growing tension in bilateral relations.

Muhammad Yunus sparks outrage after gifting a Pakistani general a book with a distorted map showing India’s northeast as Bangladeshi territory, straining regional ties.
