Relook at relations with Bangladesh sans Hasina: BNP leader's request to India, says New Delhi 'put all its eggs in one basket'

Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, senior leader of the Khaleda Zia-led Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), on Thursday urged the Narendra Modi-led NDA government in India to relook into its relations with Bangladesh without the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League.
Chowdhury, in a recent interview, blamed an ecosystem of former diplomats, bureaucrats, politicians, and think tanks for creating a "bogeyman" to mislead India into believing that its ties with Bangladesh would deteriorate without Sheikh Hasina at the helm. 
On August 5, Sheikh Hasina resigned as the Bangladesh PM and came to India after the massive student protests in the country took a violent turn. On August 8, an interim government headed by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus assumed charge and will continue till fresh elections are held. 
The senior BNP leader said that the issue of safety of minorities is an "internal matter of the country". The minority Hindu population in Bangladesh has been subjected to loss of life and property ever since students' violence ensued for days after the ouster of Hasina's government.
"How can others comment on the issue of minorities in our country? How does this come up in diplomatic relations? This is our internal matter. We never complain about what happens to Indian minorities, so no one should comment on the issue of minorities here," the leader told PTI in an interview.

Furthermore, he said that New Delhi "failed to understand the pulse of the people of Bangladesh" and put all eggs in one basket by supporting one party and family, referring to Hasina and Awami League.
"Why does New Delhi have to depend on one person or family? When it comes to Indo-Bangla relations? India has put all the eggs in one basket. That was a mistake on their part," Chowdhury said. Going further, he mentioned that one cannot change their neighbour and should have good relations with them. 
When asked on the BNP's anti-India sentiments, he urged the Modi government to keep the "baggage of the past" behind, referring to Khaleda Zia's regime in the early 2000s, and said that India's relationship has to be with the people of Bangladesh.
He also emphasised that being vocal about Bangladesh's interests does not make him anti-India. When questioned on the 'India out' campaign, he claimed it is not political in nature but by Bangladeshis who see India as an "enabler of the autocratic regime."
This, however, is not the first time that the BNP has talked about Indo-Bangla ties. Earlier this month, former Bangladesh minister Gayeshwar Roy told Times of India that Bangladesh and India should have mutual cooperation but it becomes difficult to honour the same when the India helps the enemy, referring to Sheikh Hasina. 
He also said that Hasina's 'liability' is being borne by India, adding that Indian and Bangladeshi people don't have any issues with each other. He also raised the issue of India engaging with one party and not the people of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is facing one of its most turbulent periods. There is chaos in the nation after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled from Bangladesh. This has raised questions on the internal stability of Bangladesh as well as its equations with India.
The current political crisis in Bangladesh is based on a mix of old grievances and new revolts. Sheikh Hasina has faced allegations of corruption and electoral fraud for years. But her resignation has created a power vacuum that is only making the situation worse.
Although the economy has grown a great deal, not all have shared in that growth. Public discontent is high due to rising living costs and weak social services. The repression of opposition parties and leaders has exacerbated the crisis. Among them is Khaleda Zia, the head of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) who was released recently amidst chaos. However, her release is believed to be an attempt to restore some political normalcy and not provoke the opposition further.
The role of many Islamists groups, particularly the Jamaat-e-Islami, had muddied the waters. The Jamaat-e-Islami, which played a big role in the 1971 war and has traditionally supported the BNP.
Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus has promised the restoration of peace and democracy. It's critical that voices like Yunus are calling for calm and dialogue in such turbulent times.
Disturbing reports have emerged about attacks on minority communities as well as Awami League ministers. The assaults underscore the sectarian divisions that have worsened during political turmoil. The recent attacks have left these communities in fear and insecurity. Attacks on politicians highlight entrenched enmities and the fragile state of a crisis that has dragged on for nearly two decades

What challenges does the crisis in Bangladesh pose for India? As a close neighbor and longstanding ally, the way India handles these tremors will have enormous implications for future bilateral ties.

Economic relations :

The violence has disrupted normal economic activities and paths to the outside world. Indian businesses with investments in Bangladesh are facing uncertainties. Given the level of economic interdependence, any disturbance in Bangladesh can lead to cascade effects in Indian markets across trade and commerce with border states like West Bengal or Assam

Security threat :

Instability in Bangladesh has been a major cause of security concern for India. It raises worries about a surge in cross-border insurgency and illegal immigration. Security forces in India will have to be on guard for any possible spillover effects.

Political grounds :
It will be essential to engage with emerging leaders and factions in order to secure ongoing stability and collaboration.

Humanitarian perspective :
India should be ready to help people (by providing them necessary aid). India, with its regional power tag carries a certain amount of strategic and moral responsibility to support Bangladesh during these turbulent times. Providing humanitarian assistance, medical care, rations of food and shelter for the homeless will be essential.

Regional stability :
The crisis has wider repercussions on regional stability in South Asia. India is a dominant power in the region and hence the importance of India's intermediary role in finding a peaceful resolution.

This is Bangladesh's moment of reckoning, and possibility for a rebirth. This too is India's opportunity to cement its position as a South Asian stabilising power. The India-Bangladesh relationship is not just bilateral; it is a partnership based on the history, culture, and interests. At this crucial point for Bangladesh, the significance of India will be greater than ever as a neighbour and close friend. Both countries should remember the ties that unite them now more than ever before during this time of crisis and work together.
