India Bangladesh relations: India-Bangladesh relations, once close, are now becoming confrontational. After the ouster of Sheikh Hasina from power in August last year, the situation between the two countries has changed rapidly. After leaving the post of Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina came to India and Mohammad Yunus took over the power of Bangladesh. After this the relations between India and Bangladesh started deteriorating.
Mohammad Yunus, chief advisor to the interim government of Bangladesh, said at the World Economic Forum, ‘Deteriorating relations with India are troubling him personally.’ In an interview given to news agency Reuters, he said, ‘Bangladesh-India relations should be as strong as possible. You know, you cannot make a map of India without making a map of Bangladesh.
lots of praise for china
Mohammad Yunus has said about China that it supports Bangladesh. He said, ‘It is only China which supports Bangladesh in such difficult times.’ Inflation has increased significantly in Bangladesh in the last three months and in such a situation it is looking towards the neighboring country China.
The interim government has increased VAT at a time when the country is facing high inflation for three consecutive months. Apart from this, food inflation rate is also around 13 percent. The Bangladeshi government is claiming that the increased VAT will generate revenue of around Rs 12,000 crore.
Sheikh Hasina again on target
Mohammad Yunus has termed the boom in Bangladesh’s economy during Sheikh Hasina government as fake. He said, ‘The claims of development in the country’s economy during the government of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina are ‘fake’. The whole world (Bangladesh) is responsible for this situation. This is a lesson for the world also. She was saying that ‘our growth rate is the best’, all this was completely fake.
