The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and leaders of the student movement have issued a stern warning to India’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), cautioning them against meddling in Bangladesh’s internal affairs, according to reports from Bengali media. This warning comes amidst heightened political tensions following the conclusion of Sheikh Hasina Wajid’s government in Bangladesh.
BNP officials have expressed concern that India, seemingly unsettled by the recent political shift, may be attempting to destabilize Bangladesh’s security situation. They have accused the BJP of engaging in significant interference in Bangladeshi politics, raising alarm in the region.
