Honorable Professor Ali Riaz was quoted by the German worldwide broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) in a information report on India's affect in Bangladesh's home politics.
Within the wake of the disputed election held on January 7, there’s intense debate over whether or not India's assist for incumbent Sheikh Hasina performed any function in her victory. Hasina secured her fourth consecutive time period in a largely uncontested election. America and different Western nations have described the election as “not free and honest”, however India has warmly welcomed the outcomes. Whereas a gaggle of activists have launched the India-Out motion, there are questions on whether or not it’ll have any affect.
Riaz informed DW that there’s a political message behind this marketing campaign that has implications past rapid success. He mentioned, “The marketing campaign displays deep resentment over India's disregard for Bangladesh's legit grievances and its function in Bangladesh's home politics.”
He additional factors out that “this isn’t the primary time that India has come to the help of the Hasina authorities, in the course of the two earlier elections in 2014 and 2018, which had been marred by huge vote rigging in favor of the ruling social gathering and boycotts, India stood subsequent to Hasina.”
