Congress Leader Harish Rawat Expresses Concern Over Political Crisis in Bangladesh
Haridwar (Uttarakhand) [India], August 5: Congress leader Harish Rawat has expressed concern over the political instability in Bangladesh, stating that it is a matter of concern for India. Rawat said, “It is very unfortunate that there is political instability in our neighbouring country Bangladesh. The elected government has tendered resignation and the PM of Bangladesh has left the country. This is a matter of concern. India enjoys a good bilateral relationship with Bangladesh. We want the situation to become normal in Bangladesh.”
He further emphasized the need for increased vigilance in the bordering states with Bangladesh. “The central government would be aware of the situation and it would make an impact on our bordering states with Bangladesh. This is unfortunate that a democratically elected government has been humiliated in this way. Sheikh Hasina was a leader well-known in the international circle. She had good relations with India. Whatever situation may arise we hope India’s interests are secured and Bangladesh would move towards normalising democratic rule. And the military rule will be for a very limited period,” he added.
Earlier, Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina held discussions with National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval on the present situation in Bangladesh and her future course of action at the Hindon Air Base in Ghaziabad on Monday. The Indian Air Force has put its personnel on alert in every eastern sector in view of the present developments. Moreover, the Indian Air Force and other security agencies are providing security to her and she is being moved to a safe location.
PM Sheikh Hasina landed at the Hindon Air Base near New Delhi in a C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft on Monday evening. Security has been heightened outside the Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi after PM Sheikh Hasina reached India amid ongoing protests. Additionally, a senior BSF officer mentioned that they are in constant touch with Border Guard Bangladesh over the current situation. “As of now, the situation is normal at the border. Due to the curfew in Bangladesh, there are restrictions on traffic movement at Integrated Check Posts (ICPs) along the India-Bangladesh border,” the officer said.
Agitators also set on fire Awami League president Sheikh Hasina’s office at 3/A Dhanmondi in Dhaka. Protesters were seen chanting slogans and celebrating the news of Sheikh Hasina’s resignation.
