Dhaka. After the coup in Bangladesh, cases of violence against minorities have increased there. Meanwhile, the head of the country’s new interim government, Mohammad Yunus, has reacted to the comparison of violence with Afghanistan. Yunus rejected those allegations and said that India will have to come out of this narrative and work towards improving bilateral relations between the two countries.
The head of the new interim government of Bangladesh, Mohammad Yunus, said that attacks on minorities in Bangladesh are more political than communal. He said that these attacks are political and not communal. India is exaggerating these incidents on a large scale. We did not say that we cannot do anything about this. We have said that we are trying our best.
Former PM Sheikh Hasina is in India since the coup in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, regarding Sheikh Hasina, Mohammad Yunus said that Sheikh Hasina is making political statements about Bangladesh while sitting in India, which is not right. She will have to keep her mouth shut to maintain harmony between the two countries. We will request the Indian government for her extradition.
Mohammad Yunus said during an interview in Dhaka that Bangladesh prefers strong relations with India. India also has to rise above the narrative in which it sees other parties of Bangladesh except Awami League as Islamic parties. India thinks that without Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh will turn into Afghanistan.
He said that we are not comfortable with Sheikh Hasina’s stance in India. We want her extradition as soon as possible so that she can be prosecuted. If she had sat quietly in India, we would have forgotten her. The people of Bangladesh would also have forgotten her, but she is continuously giving statements while sitting in India. This is not liked.
