India to seek international recognition for Hasina’s government

[Flynn Swagmire]

Exactly, but some ungrateful children say "Oh! What our parents did for us was all for the purpose of their self-satisfaction & pride, and for their financial security in old age"!!

India did more than just military action, India provided an unprecedented humanitarian help and support, and also fought for Bangladesh for its recognition in the UN and with other countries, all these were apart from India's "original evil purpose".

In any case, a help is a help, even if it is coming from a "Enemy" country who is always conspiring against Bangladesh!

Yes, I and all Bangladeshi will agree.

But, time has changed, your leadership has changed and your interest has changed too. Friendship cant be one sided.

People crowd an Awami League rally in Suhrawardy Udyan in Dhaka on Friday. The Awami League president, Sheikh Hasina, addressed the rally.

Stop troubling people, or face stringent action

Hmm, so you are a senseless BAL supporter!

Russia endorses AL, criticises BNP boycott

Russia has endorsed Bangladesh’s parliamentary elections and thrown its weight behind the Awami League that is set to form government at a time when Sheikh Hasina is desperately looking for international support.


The Russian foreign ministry in a statement regretted that key opposition parties boycotted the Jan 5 elections.

The statement comes in stark contrast to the position of the United States over the elections.

“Russia confirms that it is ready to continue constructive partnership with a government, which will be formed soon.

“We hope that the authorities and the opposition will not go beyond the Constitution in order to ensure stability and strengthen democratic institutions in the country,” the ministry was quoted as saying by official news agency PNA/Itar-Tass.

As main opposition BNP boycotted the elections, more than half of the seats returned winners uncontested resulting in low turnout in the violence-marred elections.

International communities particularly the West have criticised the elections. The US has been open in calling for a fresh election “as soon as possible”.

Only India has said it was a constitutional necessity. Now Russia stood beside Sheikh Hasina who oversaw the elections as head of the multi-party small cabinet.

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia demanded a non-party caretaker government.

The erstwhile Soviet Union actively supported Bangladesh’s independence struggle led by the Awami League in 1971 and stood against the Americans who had sided with Pakistan.

Hasina visited Moscow in January last year, the first by a Bangladeshi head of government since Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s visit to the Soviet Union in April 1972 immediately after Bangladesh became independent.

One of the reasons for the famine probably was smuggling food grains/goods through open border to india....now how would food come from there?

I think Pakistan should recognize the Hassina Government too if only to annoy Hassina !

No,smuggling of corps was never the reason behind 1974 famine. Sometimes the speculations reaches new heights.

I said one of the reasons and that's true, definitely it's hard for you to accept. Sk. Mujib's misrule is connected to that open border for india.

Hasina has recognition from India and bhutan now. Such a pathetic state of affairs. Our country is now a pathetic vassal crippled to the core. Its frustrating and painful as a Bangladeshi. But stil i try to find positives. One positive is that people have seen the real face of india and awami bastards being anti-state Indian dalals is not a strong allegation anymore but an established fact. Politically Hasina and AL have been obliterated from BD's electroral map for ever. Now lets see for how ling we would tolerate this despotic regime sucking our blood and decide to fight back. The darkest hour is just before the dawn. The dawn is near inshallah.

@scorpionx : Following is an excerpt from the book BANGLADESH THE UNFINISHED REVOLUTION by Lawrence Lifschultz: :

In the last days of Mujib's regime, following a period of severe famine in 1974, enormous popular resentment had developed towards India and Mujib's political identification with that country. The 1974 period evoked the worst memories of the Great Bengal Famine in 1943 when three million peasants perished. By 1975 the general antagonism towards India and the hostility to Mujib had become virtually indistinguishable. In 1974, a year of severe crisis on the world's commodity markets joined the worst floods in twenty years in Bangladesh. The price of rice in some districts rose 1000% above pre-independence levels. It was a moment when many remembered Mujib's promise that after independence from Pakistan rice would sell at half its cost. Now it was ten times that. Every village, faced with growing starvation listened to stories of fantastic smuggling and profit-making from the illegal shipment of rice and jute to India. Among the kingpins of the illicit trade was the Prime Minister's own brother. The black market operating across the border was a fact. And India was no longer viewed as that ally which had entered the war to bring Pakistan's massacre to an end, but instead as a new sub-imperialist power that was bleeding Bangladesh white.

If my memory served properly, it was that book, where the author revealed through one of Mujib's funeral attendees that his mother, Gouri Bala Devi didn't allow him to be circumcised; was not it?

@PlanetSoldier

I was reading an analysis of the 1974 famine by Akhtar Hossain. You are correct in saying food grains and jute had been smuggled to India but this will be wrong to assume it as a reason because Bangladesh was already a food abundant country per capita in 1974 and the comparative food price in India was lower that time. So how much of food grains were being smuggled from 72-74 is not quite well known.There are several other reasons behind the famine which includes the inexperienced Bangladeshi governments monetary policy after Independence and the massive failure to curb the illegal money conduit to India by corrupt Bangladeshi echelons . The then finance minister Tajuddin Ahmad said "the famine was the result of as much the government's policy as bad weather". Also the artificial crisis created by rice traders of Dhaka can never be overlooked.

It is widely accepted that the 1974 famine in Bangladesh was a man made famine and only the Mujib Government is to blamed for this. Their ineptness to stop the smuggling of Bangladeshi Taka to India, the delay in demonetize the fifty rupees Pakistani currency, the massive corruption among Mujib's government, the evil nexus of some dishonest Bangladeshi,Indian and Pakistanis,failure for a decent food distribution management system etc are all to be blamed.

After India, China backs Hasina govt ​

Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang in a message said they would like to join hands with Sheikh Hasina-led government to advance Sino-Bangla “comprehensive and cooperative partnership to a new height”.

He conveyed this message to the new Prime Minister in his congratulatory remarks after Hasina took office for the second successive term after a much-debated Jan 5 elections.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Chinese Premier “warmly congratulated” Hasina on her assumption of the office of Prime Minister. Ambassador Li Jun handed over the letter to Foreign Secretary Md Shahidul Haque on Monday evening.

@ So, finally there are 3 countries who has finally recognized the present Hasina Govy and ready to cooperate with them. These are :

3. Russia
4. Bhutan
5. Cambodia

MashaʼAllah! They are a one party regime, it would be hypocritical if they didn't. It seems Hasina is here to stay for five more years.

I said this a couple of days ago. Slowly everyone will recognize the new govt. There is no legal ground to not recognize it.

Yup it will be business as usual. I wonder what the jamaatis and BNP fan boys have to say about this

I have been saying this all along, China has been wary of the over the top, bending over backwards by the BNP-Jamaat towards the Americans. Chinese would hate to see any kind of Ameican military presence in the Bay of Bengal/Bangladesh region. And its seems like this is exactly what the BNP-Jamaat had promised the Americans in return for the western countries' support/backing.

It will be a major heartburn for them. The first reaction would be that the news is fake and bdnews24 is run by RAW.
