Diplomatic Tensions Arise Over Indo-Bangladesh Relations and Ambassador Appointment
Diplomatic insiders in India and Bangladesh report resistance within India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) to efforts aimed at improving Indo-Bangladesh relations, particularly following Prime Minister Modi's appointment of politician Dinesh Trivedi as High Commissioner to Bangladesh. Trivedi's initiatives, including arranging a visit by Bangladesh's opposition leader Tarique Rahman, faced opposition from the MEA, which allowed a virtual press conference by Sheikh Hasina criticizing her government. Internal divisions in Bangladesh and embittered diplomatic ties suggest Rahman is unlikely to attend the upcoming BRICS summit in Delhi.
