Mohammad Yunus Shifts Tone on India, Seeks Stronger Bilateral Ties Post-Hasina Era

Mohammad Yunus, who became the head of the interim government after the coup in Bangladesh, has now started changing his tone for India. Mohammad Yunus has accepted that he has no other option than India. It was India that tried its best to take Bangladesh on the path of development since it gained independence. But after the ouster of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from power, there has been tension in the relations between India and Bangladesh. However, the tone of the head of the interim government Mohammad Yunus seems to be changing. He has now talked about improving his relations with India.

Mohammad Yunus has targeted former Bangladesh Prime Minister Hasina. He has held Hasina responsible for the tension in the current relations between India and Bangladesh. Yunus has repeatedly been saying that Hasina presented other political parties of Bangladesh as anti-India. This has given the impression in India's mind that only Hasina can maintain better relations with India and there is no alternative to her. But now Yunus has said that this is not the case. This was a misconception spread by Hasina.

In an interview, Yunus said that Bangladesh has no other option but to have good relations with India. That is why he wants to keep the same relationship with India as before. He said that many of our things are similar. We have had a long relationship with India. That is why we should keep good relations with India in future as well. He said that our country will sit together and talk with India to solve the issue of illegal movement of people on the India-Bangladesh border and water sharing. We will solve this issue through mutual dialogue.

Yunus said that Sheikh Hasina has completely ruined Bangladesh. She has ruined everything from the constitutional institutions of Bangladesh to the economy. Yunus made this allegation when Bangladesh established itself as the second-largest economy in South Asia during the tenure of former PM Sheikh Hasina. He alleged that Hasina did everything for the benefit of herself and her family.
