how is this going to accelerate hasina's fall? if anything this shows more support for awami league regime.

Bhartis are behind Shahbahg murtids gathering and Hasina is Bhar$tis chamcha.

Any association with india is damaging, fact that india admitted to orchestrating and supporting Shahbagh fascist nastik mob, Pranab will just contribute to public resentment.

Some sources are saying Indian president will bring special weapons and even indian special ops to assasinate key political and Islamic figures in Bangladesh. Indian also may supply these special weapons to indian trained killing squad already staioned in Bangladesh.

Given Pilkhana massacre and clear sign of indian involvement, it is very much possible indian to commit such terror. Historically indian hindus committed terror and communal violance of Bangladeshi Muslim independece. And historically in the region, india committed terrorism all over south asia , including orchestrated killing Nepali royal family, in Srilanka, in Bangladesh and in Pakistan.

Why should the Indian president bring all this during a state visit? If India wanted to do this, won't it be at some other point?

Bangladesh is changing for the better - it's people want change and want to discard extremism and want justice served to the perpetrators. India should engage and build excellent relations with this moderate freethinking country and its people.

Pranab Mukherjee in Dhaka

India's first Bengali President Pranab Mukherjee has arrived in Dhaka amid a shutdown called by the Jamaat-e-Islami to protest against the war crimes trials.


A special flight carrying the President and his entourage, including first lady Suvra Mukherjee, touched down at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at around 12.30pm.

Mukherjee hails from West Bengal's Birbhum district, but the first lady's roots are in Bangladesh, where her relatives still live in Narail.

The Indian president was welcomed with a 21-gun salute, followed by the usual red carpet.

Bangladesh’s President Zillur Rhaman received him at the airport.

This is Mukherjee 's first tour to any country after taking over as President in Aug 2012.

During his three-day visit, the President, who was a senior leader of the ruling Indian National Congress during his six decade-long political career, would convey India’s commitment to resolve the unresolved issues with Bangladesh.

“What the President will convey to the top Bangladesh leadership is the Indian government's commitment to take bilateral relations to a higher level and to resolve unresolved issues,” Indian Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai told journalists at a briefing in New Delhi on Saturday.

The visit comes at a time when the country’s political situation is volatile following the death verdict against Jamaat's top leader Delwar Hossain Sayadee .

The main opposition BNP is also out on the street to realise its demand of restoration of caretaker government system to run the parliament elections , a system that the current government has scrapped.

The foreign secretary, however, said the visit ‘is not designed to engage in political negotiations.’

He said they were in touch with Dhaka and monitoring the evolving situation in the wake of widespread violence erupted after the Tribunal awarded death penalty to Jamaat leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee for his crimes against humanity in 1971.

The party gave a call for shutdown on Sunday and Monday, followed by the main opposition BNP’s Tuesday strike.

The Indian President will receive Bangladesh Liberation War Honour Award and an Honorary Doctorate of Law from the University of Dhaka at a formal convocation ceremony.

He will call on the President Zillur Rahman on Monday and receive the Bangladesh Liberation War Honour Award from him.

He will also meet with the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, leader of the opposition and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, Speaker of the Jatiya Sangsad Abdul Hamid, Foreign Minister Dipu Moni, and Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith.

He is also expected to meet Jatiya Party Chairman Husain Mohammad Ershad

The President will attend a reception to meet members of the Indian community in Bangladesh.

The President is accompanied by the Minister of State for Railways Adhir Choudhury (from Murshidabad) and four Members of Parliament including Mukul Roy , general secretary of the Trinamul Congress led by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee..

Banerjee’s agreeing to send Roy on Mukherjee's delegation has triggered speculation of the ice melting on the much-coveted Teesta Water sharing deal.

The deal which was supposed to be signed during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit in Sep 2011 was stalled due to Mamata Banerjee's opposition.

The Foreign Secretary said the President's visit would provide ‘an opportunity to take bilateral relations to a new height.’

He said the choice of Bangladesh as his first visit ‘is reflective of the fact that India attaches the highest importance to its relations with Bangladesh and seeks a deeper and stronger partnership with that country.’

During his stay, Mukherjee along with Hasina would also flag off a freight train from the Dhaka Cantonment railway station that is made of the tank wagons and locomotives being supplied from India under the $800 million line of credit.

He will pay a visit to the home of Rabindranath Tagore in Shilaidaha in Kushtia district and also to Bhadrabila in the Narail district of Bangladesh where he would visit his wife's relatives .

He would also visit Kumudini Welfare Trust in Mirzapur in Bangladesh before leaving Dhaka on Tuesday.

Ahead of President Mukherjee's visit, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid and Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai have visited Dhaka in recent weeks.

The Indo-Bangla ties are currently at its ‘most diversified and productive' stage.

Both sides earlier this month inked an extradition treaty, a liberalised visa agreement, and also exchange of maps of the demarcated stretches, in accordance with the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) of 1974.

The ratification of the land boundary agreement has been another issue that remained unresolved until recently when the President proposed it in parliament for constitutional amendment.

Once ratified, 111 Indian enclaves and 51 Bangladeshi that fall in each other's territory will be exchanged.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has recently been signed to launch a rail link between Akhaura and Agartala.

Mate this is the joke of the day!! It's like saying that if u are a Punjabi you would favor Pakistan!!!Let me tell u this much that the Bengalis in India are the people who are the most disgusted and tired of the Bangladeshis for reasons well known.Yes it is a fact that there are people in Bengal who have got relatives in BD and are pretty concerned about them right now because of whatever the Jamaat is doing there. . . . But the only emotion that I have noticed among the Bengalis towards Bangladesh is DISGUST!!Infact 90% Bengalis are staunchly against the policy of successive State Govt.'s to appease the illegal Bangladeshi settlers for the sake of Vote Bank and this hate is not only towards the Bangladeshi illegal Muslim immigrants but also the Hindus who are staying here illegally!!!

1.Pranab is not a powerless Prez when it comes to Indo-BD relations. After Jyoti Basu and Pryoranjan Das Munshi, Pranab has become India's close link with BAL leadership. For Hasina and Dipu Moni he is Uncle Pranab (Kaka Babu). In the last election several BAL candidates were given BAL tickets on Pranab's recommendation - as also of Bongobhumi military chief Kalidas Boidyo.

2. When Khaleda visited Delhi she was given an audience by Pranab only at the last moment. Sonia did not see her. BNP must also be puzzled as to why Pranab is in Dhaka when the situation is so bad. And this is not something sudden. The whole drama of Qader Molla's verdict and Shahbagh has been choreographed by Hasina.

3. As such Khaleda has done well not to see the Prez of a nation which shoots our citizens in cold blood every other day, interferes in our internal affairs and bothers us in so many ways. And we have seen how all, REPEAT all, Indian leaders lie with impunity. That includes Pranab also. As Finance Minister and holding other portfolios he has come here, told lies and left with smiles. Well done Khaleda Zia.

In '71 the people who came out most enthusiastically in our favor were the Bengalees of Tripura and W Bengal. Almost all our refugee camps were located in these states as others were not so keen to host us. We have special relations / ties to Indian Muslims and Indian Bengalees.
