Sheikh Hasina Reaches India

Why Sheikh Hasina Choose India Instead Of any Country
- India has been an important supporter of Sheikh Hasina, fostering a relationship that benefits both countries. Several northeastern states border Bangladesh, many of which have faced militant threats for decades. These problems have been solved thanks to a friendly Dhaka regime.
- The BBC reported that Sheikh Hasina reportedly repressed anti-India militant groups in Bangladesh during her tenure, fostering goodwill in Delhi. In addition, she granted India transit rights, making it easier for goods to move from the Indian mainland to the country’s northeastern states.
- Since her first election in 1996, Sheikh Hasina has maintained close ties with India. She has repeatedly defended Dhaka’s strong relationship with Delhi.
She reminded Bangladeshis that India, along with its government, people, and armed forces, had supported Bangladesh during the 1971 independence war while she was in India in 2022. - Opposition parties and activists, however, have criticized her close ties to India and India’s support for her. They argue that India ought to support the people of Bangladesh rather than any one party.
What’s Next For Bangladesh?
Bangladesh is India’s biggest improvement accomplice, with almost one-fourth of New Delhi’s responsibilities under credit extensions made to that country. In addition, India is Bangladesh’s second-largest trade partner in Asia, and Bangladesh is India’s largest trade partner in South Asia.
Army chief General Waker-Us-Zaman said in a televised address that Hasina, 76, had left the country and that an interim government would be formed.
