Tamil Nadu Guv Says Bangladesh Govt Not Friendly to India
By TRH Correspondent
New Delhi, March 18: Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi has said that the future of Bangladesh is bleak. Ravi said that radicals have taken control of Bangladesh.
Ravi also said that investors are quitting Bangladesh. His remarks came a day after US Director of Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard spotlighted unabated violence against Hindus in Bangladesh.
“Bangladesh has lost direction. Investors are leaving Bangladesh,” Ravi told Deccan Chronicle in a conversation in Guwahati. The Tamil Nadu Governor was in Guwahati to address a seminar on ‘Codifying Border Laws for National Security’ organised by Seemanta Chetana Mancha Purvottar and Adhivakta Parishad Assam.
Gabbard, meanwhile, took a grim note of violence in Bangladesh against the minority Hindus. India has also counselled Bangladesh on occasions to stop anti-Hindu violence.
On the watch of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, crowds vandalized properties and statues of the founder of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rehman. Muhammed Yunus, Chief Advisor of the Interim Government of Bangladesh, has been in denial of the unabated violence against the Hindus and workers of Awami League of the ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
“We have to be a little more alert as Bangladesh Government has lost direction and the present regime is undoing all that were achieved in over 10 years,” Ravi told Deccan Chronicle.
He also underlined that the “economy of Bangladesh is now in a bad shape as investors have started running away”. “The radicals have taken over the powers. Yunus may be a good individual, but he is under the grip of radicals,” noted Ravi.
The Tamil Nadu Governor, who is India’s well-known security expert with long stints in the North-east, also said that “the radical forces never wanted liberation of Bangladesh. The future looks bleak for Bangladesh.”
It may be recalled that over 40 per cent of the people in Bangladesh had voted against Sheikh Mujib-ur-Rehman in the 1971 elections in East Pakistan ahead of the eventual liberation. Bangladesh observers state that the Islamic nation periodically witnesses tussle between pro-Pakistan and Bangla nationalist forces.
Pakistan had ordered brutal suppression of Bangla nationalism in East Pakistan in months leading to the 1971 Independence in which millions of people were killed, raped and mutilated. Ravi told DC that the Centre should further boost the border management in the North-east region.
Speaking at the conference, Ravi stressed on the “need to align the border management and border security laws and policies with the integral vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the border”.
