During a press briefing, Jaiswal underscored the comprehensive nature of the India-Bangladesh partnership, encompassing economics, trade, investment, development cooperation, connectivity, and people-to-people relations. He emphasized that the relationship between India and Bangladesh transcends mere political rhetoric and is deeply entrenched in shared endeavors and mutual interests.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina questioned the efficacy of such a stance
In response to BNP’s call to boycott Indian products, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina questioned the efficacy of such a stance, particularly criticizing BNP leaders for their wives’ continued use of Indian saris. Hasina challenged BNP leaders to demonstrate their commitment by publicly disposing of their wives’ Indian saris, questioning their sincerity in boycotting Indian goods.
Hasina further scrutinized the hypocrisy of BNP leaders, highlighting instances where their wives were involved in selling Indian saris while their husbands held ministerial positions. Additionally, she raised doubts about the practicality of completely shunning Indian products, pointing out Bangladesh’s dependence on Indian imports such as onions, ginger, and spices for everyday consumption.
Despite the political rhetoric and challenges posed by the ‘BoycottIndia’ trend, India-Bangladesh relations remain resilient, buoyed by a shared history, geographical proximity, and mutual economic interests. The statements from both the MEA spokesperson and the Bangladesh Prime Minister underscore the importance of maintaining strong bilateral ties amidst evolving regional dynamics.
