A Pakistani political commentator, Najam Sethi, suggested India might take action against Bangladesh, comparing it to past actions against Pakistan. Sethi cited Bangladesh's interim leader Muhammad Yunus' remarks about India's northeastern states and Bangladesh being a 'gateway' as provocative. He believes Prime Minister Modi's assertive policy would not ignore such statements, implying India would assert its power. These comments arise amid reported strains in India-Bangladesh relations following the ouster of Sheikh Hasina.
