BNP wants to build good ties with BJP, sends Puja invite

MandarK said:
KOLKATA: Within two months of external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj meeting former Bangladesh prime minister Begum Khaleda Zia during her Dhaka trip in June, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party president has reciprocated by inviting a high-powered BJP delegation to her country during Durga Puja.

Two BNP leaders, including a former MP, called on BJP general secretary Ram Madhav in New Delhi as Khaleda's emissaries on August 21, inviting him to Dhaka when Bangladesh celebrates Durga Puja. The invite is seen as an effort by BNP to shed its "hardline Islamist" image and build bridges with the party in power in India.

The delegation's visit followed Khaleda's letter to Amit Shah on July 28 soon after he was elected BJP president. "Our party is committed to bilateral relations and fostering greater understanding among our people based on mutual benefit and respect. Strong relations between our parties can play an important role in generating this understanding. My party looks forward to working closely with your party to develop such relations," Khaleda had written ahead of the delegation's visit.

Impressed by Sushma's move, Khaleda's emissaries wanted the Indian government to shed the partisanship of the Congress-led UPA government and build a party-to-party relationship that foster friendship between the people of the two countries.

"BNP has always been branded anti-India in the mainstream Indian media. But migration of Hindu minorities from Bangladesh was the lowest during the BNP government. On the contrary, atrocities on Hindu minorities under the Awami League government are glaring instances of its attitude toward minorities," a BNP leader said.

Khaleda did not meet President Pranab Mukherjee during his first official foreign visit there after assuming office last year.

BNP and I heard even Jamat are more gentlemen types, it is Awami League that is a party of low life thugs, who bother Hindu's and blame it on BNP Jamat.

If India believes Khaleda, they should allow a free and fair election and accept whatever results come out, India should not be afraid of any party coming to power.

Canada and the US don't see eye to eye on many things. I suspect that BD will start towing India's line for everything.

Ofcourse friend. It is your personal opinion and no doubt you are entitled to it. But what are we here for if not to share opinions and learn from others. If we were all fully knowledgeable on all issues, then there would not be discussion boards would there.

Of course, but I do take offense when someone just automatically starts telling me to ignore my own opinion and believe them automatically.

I gave you facts about Bangladesh. I also gave you opinions of Indians in general and the opinion of every political party of India. No one wants a Bangladesh joining the Indian Union. Yet you insist that we are gunning for that.

I would disagree. The regular Indian may want that, but what about the political elites? How about those with power? Keep in mind, the political hierarchy hardly sees eye to eye with the people on the ground. There is no denying that many would like to see a united India once again, regardless of religious demographics, in fact, some would suggest changing the demographic of BD. You and I have both seen threads on this very forum with members discussing changing the demographics of BD.

I have told you exactly what we want from Bangladesh. On Bangladesh there is no difference of opinion in the political parties, everyone is on the same page about what we want from them and what we do not want from them.

No, you've told me what you want. You speak for yourself, just like I speak for myself. Just because there is no political will to take BD into the fold, does not mean the desire does not exist.

It will take only one day for me to be proven correct, so until then, you're right.

looks like pakistanos in PDF are more concern than bangladeshis in this matter... pakistans should take care of your country from taliban annexation of pakistan than posting some troll in this thread. india is not pakistan to invade neighbors or sponsoring terrorism. india is building a friendly atmosphere in BD nothing else. pakistanis like you won't understand friendship b/w to nations. idiots like you only knows sponsoring terrorism, begging helps and military equipments form your uncle sam USA, surrendering and denying dead bodies of your own soldiers.

It's a public forum to discuss public things, I merely stated my opinion, nothing more. By your logic, you're so obsessed with Pakistanis that you joined a Pakistani forum, and instead, you should be more worried about your own nation's affairs. Doesn't make sense, does it?

Your comment is simply nonsense, filled with insults. It's a shame that you're spending your time insulting me, instead of moving on. If you're so offended by my comment, than that's not my concern.

I've said it before, I care little what happens to BD, it is none of my business, but that does not mean I don't have opinions on it.

In a nutshell, I agree with your contention that BD is under the Indian federation. It is simply a satellite state of India and I severely doubt that India will now or in the future wish to annex BD. The status quo suits India perfectly. BD kowtows to most of Indian demands and India in turn rewards them.

An Indian annexation is inevitable at this point. Sooner or later, India will bring Bangladesh into it's federation, it's only a matter of when.

Even China has accepted your election results. Why blaming India alone? You have better trade,economic, military, political, ties with china. Ask them to support for next elections.
 
If Bangladeshis are so desperate to merge with India only on condition that they all convert to atheism and down the line hinduism.
 
That Guy said:
Simply stating it as how I see it. BD has completely come under Indian influence, what little resistance there remained, was killed during the last BD elections. BD now is nothing more than a puppet state, and sooner or later it will come under the Indian federation's flag.

Over the next decades, we may eventually see border-less transit with Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan. From a pure strategic perspective, my fellow countrymen will murder me now, it makes sense to integrate these countries into a confederation of states through a pure economic union for now and get into a mutual defense pact. De-facto making these dependencies of the Indian Union. But, I do not foresee a military action in any of these scenarios. These will be political and economic in nature.

From a territorial perspective, Bangladesh will give access and open up the development of the North East. This will ruffle feathers in Rangoon and Assam. But, it will bring prosperity to the North East and enable a strong defense for Arunachal.

Bhutan, will remain independent till the King is popular. When this drops, you will see Indian influence and an attempt to annexe Bhutan. The fear here will be what message will this send regarding our 'imperialistic' designs to our neighbours and may result in a 'We told you so' from Pakistan. But, eventually, I think this will happen.

Nepal, will be more of economic integration till a time when there will be mutual agreement for a merging with special status.

This is of course, my personal opinion. But, I think this will happen over the next 50 years.
