Roor reveals the secret: Did India want Sheikh Hasina to never return to Bangladesh? Earthquake due to statement of Congress leader

News India Live, Digital Desk: On the chessboard of politics and diplomacy, such statements often come, which have a very deep meaning. Senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Shashi Tharoor has given such a statement regarding the relations between Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and India, which has attracted everyone’s attention. He has said that when Sheikh Hasina was in exile, India had done the right thing by ‘not putting pressure’ on her to return to Bangladesh. This statement is not just a matter of history but also raises many questions in the context of India’s foreign policy. What is this statement of Shashi Tharoor? Shashi Tharoor has made this claim while participating in a book release program. He said that the Indira Gandhi government, and later the Rajiv Gandhi government, never pressured Sheikh Hasina to forcibly return to Bangladesh, even though she feared that her rivals there might assassinate her. Tharoor believes that this was a wise decision by India, which refrained from direct interference in the internal politics of Bangladesh and respected the ‘Principle of Self-Determination’. He said that this is the proudest moment of Indian foreign policy. Why would this statement increase the debate? Diplomatic Ethics: Tharoor argues that India maintained a high level of diplomatic ethics by not forcing any exiled leader to return to his country, even though India could have influence over them. ‘Big Brother’ Principle: He also stressed that India, despite being a major regional power, has always been like a ‘big brother’ in the affairs of its neighbours. Does not behave well, which is often not liked by neighboring countries. India does not display its strength, but maintains respectful behavior. This statement of Tharoor can start a new debate on the historical and current relations between India and Bangladesh. This once again shows how the pages of history hold great importance even in today’s politics. More discussions can be seen in political circles on his statement in the coming times.
