In this high-profile case, late on Monday night, the Bangladesh Foreign Ministry suddenly summoned India’s Deputy High Commissioner Pawan Badhe posted in Dhaka and expressed its deep displeasure over this behavior in a closed room.

Know who is Strategic Advisor Zahid Ur Rehman and what happened to him at Delhi Airport
According to concrete information received from diplomatic and official sources, Zahid Ur Rahman, a highly trusted person of the newly appointed Prime Minister of Bangladesh Tariq Rahman and the Chief Strategic Advisor of the Government, had reached New Delhi in a special plane to participate in an international conference and bilateral discussions. But as soon as he reached the diplomatic immigration counter of Delhi airport, Indian security officials posted there stopped him there due to his VIP documents and purpose of travel. It is being told that Zahid Ur Rehman was made to sit in a special lounge of the airport and was subjected to very intensive and technical interrogation by the security agencies for several hours. Only after the completion of this lengthy and unexpected legal process was he allowed to leave the airport premises and proceed with his scheduled programs in Delhi. However, no official statement or clarification has yet come from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India on this entire matter.
Sheikh Hasina taking refuge in India has become the biggest thorn, Dhaka is continuously demanding extradition.
Political and global affairs experts clearly believe that this latest incident at the airport has happened at such a delicate time when the mutual relations between the two countries are already going through a very sensitive and tense phase on many fronts. Efforts to improve diplomatic relations had begun after Tariq Rahman’s party won the general elections in Bangladesh earlier this year, but the issue of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina remains the biggest standoff between the two countries. Let us remind you that after the historic student movement and terrible coup in Bangladesh in the year 2024, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to leave the country to save her life and since then she is living in India in the safe custody of the Government of India. The current caretaker and new government of Bangladesh is continuously making a legal demand from New Delhi for handing over Sheikh Hasina i.e. extradition, which India is postponing due to security reasons.
‘Push-in’ controversy of illegal immigrants on the border: BSF and Bangladeshi security forces face to face
Apart from the issue of Sheikh Hasina, a new land dispute is also burning rapidly between the two countries regarding border management and illegal immigrants. The Bangladesh government has made very serious allegations against India, saying that the Indian Border Security Force (BSF) and other local authorities are making continuous efforts to forcibly push suspected migrants without valid documents across the border into Bangladesh without following any stipulated international legal procedures or paper documents. Bangladeshi border security forces claim that they have promptly foiled several such alleged ‘push-in’ attempts made by India in recent times on the border itself. Amidst these two big and burning controversies, this behavior of the Bangladeshi PM’s advisor at the Delhi airport has added fuel to the fire, due to which it is certain that there will be a major diplomatic stir in South Asian politics in the coming days.
