Krishna to meet Khaleda Friday
Dhaka, July 5 (bdnews24.com) Indian foreign minister S M Krishna will meet Khaleda Zia during his visit to Dhaka.
The meeting will be held at Khaleda's Gulshan office at 11:30am on Friday, her press secretary Maruf Kamal Khan told bdnews24.com.
"A meeting between the Indian foreign minister and the opposition leader has been scheduled to be held at her Gulshan office at 11:30pm on Friday," he said.
Khaleda on Tuesday slated the government for deals with the 'country'.
"The government is conspiring to hand over Bangladesh to another country. They (the government) are out to turn Bangladesh into a dependent country by amending the constitution," she said.
"The country's interests were not taken care of while signing deals with India," she added.
Krishna is arriving in Dhaka at a time when many in Bangladesh and India have questioned the prudence of prime minister Manmohan Singh's recent remarks on Bangladesh, though the India government later tried to play it down.
"Our relations (with Bangladesh) are quite good. But we must reckon that at least 25 percent of the population of Bangladesh swears by the Jamaat-e-Islami and they are very anti-Indian, and they are in the clutches, many times, of the ISI," Singh had remarked at a meeting in New Delhi on Wednesday.
" political landscape in Bangladesh can change at any time. We do not know what these terrorist elements, who have a hold on the [Jamaat-e-Islami] elements in Bangladesh, can be up to," said Singh.
The Prime Minister's Office in India uploaded the transcript of the Q&A session but later removed it.
Singh also called up Sheikh Hasina on Monday evening apparently to clarify his controversial remarks when he also confirmed his September 6-7 visit to the country.
