Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unlikely to visit Bangladesh for the celebration of the birth centenary of Bangladesh’s founding father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, sources have said. The year-long celebrations were scheduled to open amid massive festivities at the National Parade Ground in Dhaka on March 17.

Bangladesh had announced on Sunday that it was scaling down and postponing several eventsrelated to the celebration following the detection of three coronavirus infections in the country.

“The planned celebrations for the Mujib Year have been rearranged in view of worldwide outbreak of coronavirus,” Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen told reporters. “We will convey about the rearrangement of the planned opening of the celebrations to the foreign dignitaries, leaving it to them if they would come,” he added.

His remarks came after attending a meeting on the ‘Mujib Year’ celebrations chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.



Hasina directed the organisers to scale down the planned festivities, but the new venue for the inauguration of the celebrations is yet to be decided, chief coordinator of the celebration committee Kamal Abdul Naser told reporters.

PM Modi’s decision to attend the celebration was largely seen as an outreach move amid protests against Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA in Bangladesh. Protests have taken place across several cities in Bangladesh against CAA. PM Modi’s visit was also meant to have had a bilateral component, including a meeting with Hasina.

Bangladesh had also invited former Indian President Pranab Mukherjee and Nepal’s President Bidhya Devi Bhandari to address an extraordinary parliamentary session to mark the celebrations.

Bangladesh on Sunday reported three cases of coronavirus. Two people brought the disease from Italy, infecting the third one on their return home, officials said.

After the cases were detected, the authorities decided that people coming from China, Italy, South Korea, Singapore, Iran and Thailand must stay in quarantine for 14 days for medical clearance.

Our Pakistani bretherns should understand this now lol.
BAL has taught west Pakistan its politics in 1971. Mujib did not declare independence but wanted a showdown from the west Pakistani side. Hot-headed Yahya Khan/Bhutto fell into his trap and started an offensive in East that culminated in the Liberation War.

Bengalis were not yet ready to accept a broken Pakistan in early 1971 and Mujib had read the pulse. But, after the heavy crackdown by PA, Bengalis jumped into struggling for separation. Mujib won without being blamed for breaking Pakistan.

This time, that Malaun Modi fell into another trap. He was sure Dhaka would not cancel the invitation. Finally, Dhaka did it but under some non-genuine pretext. Modi did not see the light when our ministers one after another were canceling India visits.

Chanakya group lost this time in the game of brain and intelligence. We, the beef-eaters won.

BAL and India's congress are two of the most premier political parties in the subcontinent. I am not surprised by the game BAL played, they are well known for shrewd politics.
