Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has blamed the US for the coup in Bangladesh. That is why India had also asked the US to show a soft attitude towards Sheikh Hasina a year ago.
According to the Washington Post, India was already suspicious of the political situation in Bangladesh. On the other hand, America was strongly criticizing Sheikh Hasina. The American ambassador criticized Sheikh Hasina and said that Sheikh Hasina had put thousands of protesters in jail before the elections.
The US administration issued sanctions against the Bangladeshi police unit. The US said that the police have arrested people without justice and the police are responsible for the deaths in Bangladesh. The US also threatened on the issue of granting visas to Bangladeshis. At that time, India had told the US in a high-level meeting not to take such a tough stand against Bangladesh. After India bowed down to the US, the Biden administration has softened its stance towards Bangladesh. Other sanctions were not in place.
What did India say?
Indian officials told the US that if the opposition in Bangladesh becomes strong, then Bangladesh will become a stronghold of fundamentalism. It will also challenge India. According to the Washington Post, Indian officials told the US that the US can consider this incident only as an issue of democracy. But this issue is very important and challenging for India. Indian officials discussed this issue in detail with the US. Indian officials said that until a strategic consensus is reached, this issue needs to be considered.
