Bangladesh’s new diplomacy: Why did Mustafizur Rahman, posted in Delhi, have to return hurriedly?

News India Live, Digital Desk: In the world of diplomacy, everything often looks very calm, but what happens behind the scenes is shocking. The latest movement is visible between the relations between India and Bangladesh. It is reported that Bangladesh’s High Commissioner Mohammad Mustafizur Rahman, posted in India, has been called to Dhaka on ‘urgent’ basis and he has already reached Dhaka. Consider this a normal transfer or something else? Whenever the ambassador of a big country to its most important neighboring country is suddenly called, discussions intensify. Many meanings are being made behind calling Mustafizur Rahman like this. Experts say that this is not a part of a regular routine, but the reason behind it could be the changing politics in Dhaka and the new diplomatic direction of the interim government there. The journey from Delhi to Dhaka and untold things. Ever since the coup in Bangladesh, its relations with India are going through a ‘strange phase’. Sometimes sharp statements, sometimes messages of goodwill. In such a situation, recalling the officer holding the most important post indicates that perhaps the new government of Bangladesh is preparing to ‘reset’ its foreign policy from scratch. Mustafizur Rahman was in Delhi for a long time and he understood the old equations very well. Beginning of a large-scale reshuffle? Interestingly, Mustafizur Rahman is not alone. There is also discussion that Bangladesh can remove its old ambassadors and make new appointments not only in Delhi but also in important centers like New York, London and Paris. This is also being seen as a ‘clean-up’ process of the current government there. He wants to give place to those faces in his team who can keep pace with the thinking of the present government. What will happen next? The biggest question is what this means for India. When an ambassador leaves and a new one comes, the pace of communication slows down for some time. Will this coolness in the relations between India and Bangladesh subside soon or will Delhi have to wait until new appointments are made? Now all eyes in the corridors of diplomacy are on who Bangladesh chooses as its new ambassador to India. Will he be the face that will heal old wounds, or will the relationship only grow further apart?
