Earlier, a PTI report said that Prime Minister Modi could meet Younis, although the Ministry of External Affairs did not comment on the proposed meeting. On Thursday (April 3), the Prime Minister and Yunus sat together in the dinner organized during the BIMSTEC summit, which became a matter of discussion. The tension in bilateral relations has increased further after the comments made by Yunus on the northeastern states of India while attending the annual conference of Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) in China. However, after that the meeting of top leaders of both countries has created a stir.
40 minutes of meeting
This was India’s first high level meeting with the interim government of Bangladesh after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina taking shelter in India, which is now over. This meeting lasted for 40 minutes, in which several important issues were discussed. Let me tell you that the former Prime Minister had fled from Bangladesh after a large -scale protests led by the students, who overthrew the 16 -year government of his Awami League. Yunus has claimed that Dhaka sent formal letters to India demanding Hasina’s extradition to face a legal trial, but did not receive any official response from New Delhi.
