We are requesting India to understand the pains we gone through the fascist rules of Hasina.

[@ashrafuddoula1564]

Amb . Saran, you have been a high commissioner of India to Bangladesh for a number of years. Unfortunately , you never learned or wanted to learn about the Bengali culture-distinct from the West Bengal , social and political moorings. You always worked from the selfish India’s perspective and not what the Bangladeshis want. In this interview You have delivered a narrative which is full of falsehood, misleading and evading the truth. In fact from 2009 to 05 august 2024, before Hasina fled to her sanctuary in India, it was literally India , which ran Bangladesh through its stooge Hasina. Though there is adequate skepticism , the 2008 election was generally accepted by the people as fare. But when it comes to the elections of 2014 , 2018 and 2024 , you may duck your head in the sand, but the truth is , if it was not India directly interfering or supporting Hasina nakedly, she would have never won those three elections. The brutal and fascist rule that Hasina ran in the country, would have never happened if she wasn’t emboldened by her conviction that India would support her to the hilt. For instance , the late president Pranab Mukherjee once threatened to send indian troops to Bangladesh , in the event of any threat to Hasina’s life. Was it any of his business ? As high commissioner it was your duty to find out the core reasons for incremental rise of anti India sentiments. You should have also mentioned Hasina’s corrupt practices , laundering of money by herself , her family members and cronies and other crimes against humanity she committed. I remember your attitude towards this country, when i once asked you to pay some attention to the killings of the unarmed and innocent Bangladeshi citizens in the border areas by the BSF. And, you rudely brushed aside my concern, displaying your arrogance.If you are honest , please provide a list of what Bangladesh gained and what India gained out of the so-called “ golden relationship between India and Bangladesh”. No doubt it was diamond for India but for Bangladesh it got only empty promises. Hasina had once infamously declared that “what I have given to India it will never forget”. Let’s see your government make such a bold statement with facts and figures. Mr. Saran , i will advise you to refrain from lecturing us. Bangladeshis are tremendously resilient people and we have throughout our history have successfully surmounted any adversities-manmade or natural.please leave us to our fate. Thanks for reading, if at all you will.

[@idoliser1139]

This is a true criminal, you have no right to talk about Bangladesh!

[@northsouth256]

I find it difficult to understand why many Indians like Pankaj Saran think India is a global power. It’s important to acknowledge the significant economic gap between China and India-in terms of GDP, GDP per capita, and overall socioeconomic development. This gap is as vast as the difference between the U.S. and Mexico. Despite this disparity, some continue to dream of India becoming a superpower, a goal that seems not noly overly ambitious but also impossible. For example, the GDP per capita in all Indian states bordering Bangladesh are significantly lower than that of Bangladesh itself. In the 2023 Global Hunger Index, India ranks 111th out of the 125 countries, which means a level of hunger that is serious.Additionally, while India is now the most populous country in the world, it still lacks a permanent seat with veto power in the United Nations. Moreover, after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government in Bangladesh, India has found itself surrounded by anti-Indian governments in its neighboring countries. If India struggles to assert influence in its own region, how can it hope to project power on a global scale? According to UNICEF, a significant portion of India's population still practices open defecation, contributing to environmental pollution and the spread of diseases. Despite its massive population, India's recent Olympic medal counts lack of gold medals, further reflecting its challenges in excelling on the global stage. Lastly, India ranks highest in both legal and illegal immigration, highlighting the poor quality of life that compels many to seek better opportunities abroad.

Also with regards to what is really unfolding in East Pakistan. I guess the East Pakistanis wouldn't have realised what had hit them in a very nice and sweet way in this interview.

"Bangladesh historically has always had external forces at work inside the country" Finally, someone admitted it. This external force is mainly RAW. Since independence, RAW involved in Bangladesh politics and they always tried their best to enact India's interest in Bangladesh by any means. Result, in every political assassination, RAW's involvement was obvious. Finally RAW came up to set an pro-indian government in Bangladesh to ensure direct Indian control depriving voters voting right. After topple of Hasina resim, they are still active in Bangladesh to creates unrest politically and economically. All those activities of RAW backfired and only earned hatred from the mass population of Bangladesh

His narrative is aligned with his training as a diplomat. Indian involvement started from 2014 onwards. Hasina had no other choice but to dance with the puppeteer, the criminal Hasina received immoral support from Modi even though they knew the last three elections she rigged like a pirate in the high seas. The high commissioner, I am sure, was not comfortable to shove her around by the directives of Delhi. The people of Bangladesh naturally did realize Hasina's compromising attitude towards "Big Brother" India. India heavily relied on RAW, a rotten organization. Like her father, Sk. Mujib, Hasina was involved in conspiracy herself against the people of Bangladesh. Fascist Hasina will remain in a foreign soil but unlike her father, she will not have a final resting place in Bangladesh. KARMA.

Do you agree that sudden fall of Hasina government was fairly avoidable had the otherwise legitimate demand of the students been addressed in right time?

[@moshizaman39]

US - Yunus connection Vs India - Hasina connection is not same. India kept its eyes closed, if not supported the killings, abductions, illegal imprisonment of her political oppositios by Hasina. While there is no such example that US is encouraging Yunus to indulge in such activities. That's why we Bangladeshis blame India for all our miseries that we suffered during Hasina's rule.

[@1008apocalypse1008]

Modi never fired a bullet at any protestor at any point of time. I wonder why he would recommend that to Hasina. It's mostly the crooked BD army and US backed bureaucrats

Let the dust settle in, at the moment people in Bangladesh out of emotions are talking some nonsense stuff, for e.g. having a treaty with Pakistan without realising the fact that they got independence from it because of the way the treatment given to them by the Pakistanis. So far the government of India has done the right thing by not engaging with the Yunus government, since it doesn't have any legitimacy. Government of India should engage with whoever comes to power post elections.

He should be ashamed of himself for his failures to correctly read the pulse of Bangladesh.
