Delhi has been urged to ensure that its territory is not used to incite violence in Bangladesh or threaten its people, a statement reported by Al Jazeera. The call highlights concerns over cross‑border tensions between the two South Asian neighbours.
Bangladesh, a densely populated country in the Indian sub‑continent, shares a long and sometimes fraught border with India. The two governments have historically cooperated on security matters, but incidents of political agitation and criminal activity occasionally spill over the boundary.
In the broader context of Bangladesh’s political climate, the statement comes as discussions continue about the legal status of its long‑time prime minister, Sheikh Hasina. While details of any pending sentence are not provided, the emphasis on maintaining peace reflects the sensitivity of the region to potential unrest.
Officials in Delhi have reiterated their commitment to preventing any use of Indian territory for activities that could destabilise neighbouring countries. This stance aligns with India's broader policy of fostering stability and cooperation in the region.
