Bangladesh vs Pakistan: What is Hasina’s Real Problem?
Global Village Space |
Najma Minhas |
Pakistan and Bangladesh relations have dipped to another low point in the last several months, with an increasingly hostile attitude shown by the Hasina Sheikh’s government. After ignoring a number of slights by the Bangladeshi government towards Pakistan’s initiatives, on Thursday, Pakistan finally decided not to participate in the 136th Inter-Parliamentary Union Assembly which was due to begin April 1, 2017 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Ayaz Sadiq Pulls out of Parliamentary moot in Dhaka
The 10-member parliamentary delegation was to participate in the international parliamentary moot under the leadership of National Assembly Speaker, Ayaz Sadiq.
In a statement, Pakistan’s Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said, “The members of the National Assembly and I have noted with dismay and disappointment the continuing actions and negative public statements of the leadership, public officials and media of Bangladesh despite Pakistan’s restraint and overtures to the country. I have, therefore, decided not to travel to Bangladesh; as a visit at this point will not serve the purpose.”
Video Game features a character, Aneela, a good looking female guerilla fighter who frees herself from Pakistani captivity, and goes around like any good Indian movie destroying the ‘enemies’ supply lines, saving women from prison camps, and takes down Pakistani soldiers one by one.
He pointed out how Pakistan had gone out of its way again and again on different occasions to ensure better relations with Bangladesh. It was a particularly bitter pill for the speaker to swallow, since it was Pakistan’s parliamentary delegation that had unanimously voted in favor of the current Speaker of Bangladesh, Dr Sharmeen Chaudhary, for the post of the chairperson of the executive committee of Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in Cameroon in 2014. Pakistani support had helped her win to it. Dr. Chaudhary won this election with an extremely narrow margin of four votes, 82 votes in favor and 78 against. It was not possible without Pakistani support.
Ayyaz Sadiq’s statement went on to say “However, it is noted with much regret that the friendly gestures were never reciprocated in the same coin. The speaker of Bangladesh did not visit Pakistan despite repeated invitations. The parliament of Bangladesh also boycotted all international parliamentary moots, organized by the parliament of Pakistan during the last two years despite personal requests by the highest parliamentary leadership to the speaker of Bangladesh. This includes the SAARC Young Parliamentarians Conference in August 2016, the International Women Parliamentarians Conference 2017 and the Asian Parliamentary Assembly in 2017.”

Bangladesh since Sheikh Hasina won elections in 2008
It was Pakistan’s parliamentary delegation that had unanimously voted in favor of the current Speaker of Bangladesh, Dr Sharmeen Chaudhary, for the post of the chairperson of the executive committee of Commonwealth Parliamentary Association in Cameroon in 2014. Pakistani support had helped her win to it. Dr Chaudhary won this election with an extremely narrow margin of four votes, 82 votes in favor and 78 against. It was not possible without Pakistani support.
Since the 2008 election victory, Sheikh Hasina Wajid has acted to keep her party in power by taking a strident tone against Pakistan. This year her government passed a motion declaring that March 25th each year would be commemorated as ‘Genocide day.’
