India doesn’t support any particular party in Bangladesh: Modi
He made the remark at a bilateral meeting with Bangladesh Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on the sidelines of the BIMSTEC summit in Bangkok.
Modi said the history of the two neighbours is intricately linked, and it goes back to the birth of Bangladesh.
He said India would always support a progressive, democratic and inclusive Bangladesh.
India’s attachment is with a country, not with any individuals or political organisations, he said.
The Indian premier recalled the global stature of Prof Yunus.
About the statements of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina delivered from India, the Indian prime minister blamed social media for the tensions around Sheikh Hasina’s remarks.
The two leaders stressed the need for working together to prevent killings along the Bangladesh-India border.
Narendra Modi congratulated Prof Yunus on his assumption of the BIMSTEC chairmanship and greeted him on the occasion of Eid ul-Fitr.
During their 40-minute candid meeting, both leaders greeted each other with mutual respect and a shared openness for dialogue.
Bangladesh Foreign Adviser Md Tauhid Hossain, Chief Adviser’s High Representative Khalilur Rahman, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval were, among others, present.
