Md. Monir Hossain Patwary, Staff Reporter ||
Foreign Affairs State
Minister Shama Obaid has said that India will have to decide the future
direction of Bangladesh-India relations.She made the remarks
while speaking to journalists on Thursday evening in response to a press
conference held in Delhi by Bangladesh’s ousted former prime minister and
convicted Awami League leader Sheikh Hasina on August 5.Shama Obaid said she
believes both the people and governments of Bangladesh and India want stronger
bilateral relations.“However, if
authoritarian and convicted Awami League leaders continue carrying out
activities from Indian territory and the Indian government does not stop such
actions, it will create concerns among the people of Bangladesh,” she said.She said the
relationship between the two neighbouring countries is multidimensional and
that various issues should be resolved through discussions.“The decision now
rests with India-whether it will allow statements by authoritarian, convicted
individuals or not,” she added.
