“SPIRIT OF PRAGMATISM”
Vikram Misri, the minister of India’s foreign government, told reporters that Modi “reiterated India’s support for a democrat, firm, peaceful, democratic and diverse Bangladesh”.
Modi said he wanted a “positive and productive relationship with Bangladesh based on a heart of pragmatism”, Misri added, repeating New Delhi’s concerns about alleged “atrocities” against immigrants in Bangladesh.
Yunus, according to Alam, even raised with Modi Dhaka’s long-running issue about what it says are Hasina’s burning notes from captivity.
Hasina, who remains in India, has defied abduction requests from Bangladesh to face charges including mass death.
Dhaka has requested that India allow Hasina’s extradition to face charges of crimes against humanity for the killing of thousands of demonstrators during the upheaval that toppled her state.
Misri said Modi and Yunus had discussed the abduction get but there was “nothing more to put” at provide.
Yunus also raised concerns about border murder along the amorphous border with India, as well as problems of the shared valley waters that stream from India as the Ganges and the Brahmaputra weather towards the water.
Misri said that the “prevention of unlawful border crossing” was needed.
Yunus’s caretaker government is tasked with implementing political reforms back of new votes slated to take place by June 2026.
Modi and Yunus had breakfast on Thursday evening, sitting next to each other alongside another officials from the BIMSTEC regional bloc in Bangkok, but the diplomatic appointment on Friday was the first since relationships frayed between the neighbouring countries.
