Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar informed all the parties about the latest situation in Bangladesh. He has informed that he has received a lot of support from all the parties. After resigning, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina reached India, where she met India’s National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. Now it is being said that she has also left India. However, nothing has been said officially about this.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Tuesday, “During the all-party meeting today (on Tuesday), I informed about all the developments going on in Bangladesh. I appreciate the support and understanding received from everyone.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security on this issue on Monday.
Jaishankar informed the leaders in an all-party meeting on Tuesday that India has assured former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of help and has given her time to decide the future strategy. Sources gave this information. According to sources, Jaishankar said in the all-party meeting that not even 24 hours have passed since Hasina came to India and she is in shock. According to sources, Jaishankar said that the government is giving time to Hasina to recover from the shock and after that it will talk to her on other issues including her future plans.
According to sources, various opposition leaders including the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi have expressed their full support to the government on this issue. YSR Congress leader V Vijayasai Reddy said that his party is with the government in the interest of the country. Prime Minister Hasina’s sudden resignation and leaving the country amid violent anti-reservation protests in Bangladesh has created a state of chaos there. Hasina arrived in India on Monday night in a C-130J military aircraft of the Bangladesh Air Force. It is being told that she plans to go to London.
According to sources, while briefing the leaders of political parties in Parliament House about the current situation in Bangladesh, Jaishankar said that India is in touch with the Bangladeshi army to ensure the safety of more than 10 thousand Indian students present in the neighboring country. According to sources, while answering questions from other leaders including Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha, the Foreign Minister did not deny the role of foreign governments in the chaos in Bangladesh, but he stressed that the situation is very sensitive and the government is constantly monitoring the developments in the neighboring country.
Sources said that in the all-party meeting, Rahul asked whether foreign governments could have a hand in promoting anarchy in Bangladesh. According to sources, Jaishankar said in the meeting that protesters in Bangladesh damaged the houses and properties of minorities. According to sources, the Foreign Minister may make a statement in the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha on the Bangladesh issue.
There was a lot of opposition to the government in Bangladesh due to quota in government jobs, after which the protests turned violent. Statistics show that more than 100 people have died during these protests. Not only this, after the news of resignation, the protesters also reached Hasina’s residence. Many pictures of the rioters also surfaced.
