India-Bangladesh Relations: Mohammad Tauheed Hussain, foreign advisor in the interim government of Bangladesh, has adopted a cunning attitude in an interview given to ABP News. He has appealed to India to stop the killing of common people on the border of Bangladesh and India. He has accused New Delhi of not giving importance to the demands of the people of Bangladesh and not helping in sending back more than 10 lakh Rohingya living in Bangladesh. In an interview given to ABP News, Tauheed Hussain said that if even a single person dies on the border, the whole of Bangladesh feels the pain. Along with this, his love for Pakistan also came to the fore.
Talking on the SAARC issue, Tauheed Hussain said that ‘we want that the SAARC process needs to be revived again, the animosity between India and Pakistan can be kept aside in this matter.’ In fact, during Sheikh Hasina’s tenure, India and Bangladesh were together in SAARC, so Pakistan was not able to do anything here. Bangladesh’s foreign advisor said that ‘New Delhi knows what the people of Bangladesh want, but they gave importance only to one person (Sheikh Hasina) and one party (Awami League) instead of the common people.’
