Will not go against India: B'desh army
Hindustan Times Noida|January 02, 2025
Bangladesh is dependent in many ways on India, an "important neighbour", and will not do anything that goes against New Delhi's strategic interests, Bangladesh Army chief Gen Waker-Uz-Zaman has said against the backdrop of strained ties between the two countries.

NEW DELHI:

India has a lot of interest in Bangladesh's stability, and the two sides share a give-and-take relationship that "must be based on fairness", Zaman said in an interview with leading Bangladeshi newspaper Prothom Alo - his first since former premier Sheikh Hasina stepped down and fled to India last August.

India-Bangladesh relations have been in free fall since the formation of a caretaker administration led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. India has conveyed to Bangladesh its concerns about attacks on the country's Hindu minority, while the arrest of Bangladeshi monk Chinmoy Krishna Das on sedition charges has emerged as another irritant in bilateral ties.
