New Delhi. There has been news regarding Bangladesh PM Tariq Rahman's visit to India. According to the report of Bangladesh newspaper 'The Daily Star', PM Tariq Rahman can reach Delhi on his first official visit to India between 20 to 25 August. The newspaper quoted sources as saying that Bangladesh and India are seriously considering the proposed visit of Tariq Rahman. According to the newspaper, there is no consensus between the PMs of the two countries on the issue of program and timetable of the bilateral meeting. Talks are on to decide the date of Tariq Rehman's visit to India.
The Daily Star, quoting diplomatic sources in Delhi, has said that both countries are interested in Bangladesh PM Tariq Rahman's visit to India. Top officials of both the countries are close to agreeing on the visit between August 20 and 25. According to the newspaper, the dates of August 20-21 and August 21-22 are being considered. Recently, Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi had met PM Tariq Rehman. At the same time, RAW chief Parag Jain had visited Dhaka with a four-member delegation. The RAW chief had an important meeting with retired Brigadier General Dr. AKM Shamsul Islam, advisor on defense to Bangladesh PM Tariq Rahman, and the intelligence agency chief there.
After meeting Tariq Rehman, Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi came to Delhi and met PM Narendra Modi. The issue of Sheikh Hasina is a heated issue between Bangladesh and India. Bangladesh has been continuously demanding the extradition of Sheikh Hasina. Meanwhile, Sheikh Hasina has announced to return to Bangladesh in December this year. Sheikh Hasina is also continuously alleging that despite the formation of Tariq Rahman's government, atrocities on minorities including Hindus are continuing in Bangladesh. Sheikh Hasina has also said that her government was ousted through a conspiracy. In such a situation, if Tariq Rehman comes to visit India, he can definitely raise the issue of Hasina.
