India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar<\/a> is likely to interact with his Bangladeshi counterpart, Touhid Hossain<\/a>, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, scheduled to be held next week, in New York. <\/p>\n

With Bangladesh<\/a> recently seeing violent revolt and the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina<\/a> government, Jaishankar is reportedly keep to emphasize India’s hopes for a rapid restoration of law and order in the country, as well as the Modi government’s concerns over threats to the Hindu minority in the country. <\/p>\n

The foreign minister is also expected to smooth over any tensions between the neighbours, reiterating India\u2019s commitment to work with a democratic and peaceful Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

If it happens, the talk between Hossain and Jaishankar will be the first high-level, in-person engagement between India and Bangladesh’s interim government being led by Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus<\/a>, the Nobel laureate who was nominated to the interim position after Hasina’s ouster. <\/p>\n

A meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/a> and Yunus has not been ruled out, but is unlikely due to scheduling constraints, according to a Times of India report. <\/p>\n


Modi is set to land in the United States Saturday, to participate in the Quad leaders summit being hosted by outgoing US President Joe Biden, in Delaware. Modi is scheduled to be in the States till September 23, when he will address the UN Summit of the Future and subsequently leave for India. India’s foreign minister, however, is set to be in New York to deliver India\u2019s national statement at the UNGA on September 28, and is expected to meet Hossain then. The Jaishankar-Hossain meet is likely to feature Sheikh Hasina heavily, with Dhaka wanting her extradited but being held up by a lot of paperwork to approach New Delhi with an official extradition request. <\/p>\n

But, with local Bangladeshi politics playing a major role in Hasina’s extradition, her extended stay in India is unlikely to help the Modi government get its relationship with Dhaka back on track, TOI reports. <\/p>\n

To make matters worse, tensions between the interim government and New Delhi have risen, due to what India has characterised as \u201cunhelpful\u2019\u2019 remarks from a few top functionaries of the interim Yunus government, with the Nobel laureate himself in hot water over statements he made. <\/p>\n

The chief advisor has twice said that reports of attacks on minorities have been exaggerated, telling India to not remain captivated by the \u201cnarrative that portrays every other political party except Awami League as Islamist” or that Bangladesh is safe only with Hasina – a long-time ally of the current Indian government – at the helm.<\/p>\n

India is also wary of the interim government\u2019s efforts to \u2014 as Hossain said in an interview this week \u2014 build a normal relationship with Pakistan<\/a> after Hasina\u2019s exit, with reports from Dhaka say the chief advisor is likely to participate in a bilateral meeting with Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif<\/a> in New York next week. Yunus has also sought a revival of SAARC, which remains stalled because of India\u2019s opposition to cross-border terrorism.<\/p>\n
