A U.S. Embassy cable sent on February 10, 2005 (26786: confidential) from New Delhi, reporting a February 9, 2005 conversation between Embassy officials and MEA Director Taranjit Sandhu on the decision, reveals much about India's Big Brother attitude towards Bangladesh.
Mr. Sandhu told the U.S. officials that in light of increasing intolerance in Bangladesh and sustained anti-India sentiment' there, India needed to bring pressure to bear on Dhaka.
He urged the Americans not to lessen the importance of the events in Bangladesh in New Delhi's decision not to attend the summit. The Director added to his list of Bangladeshi offenses that sitting ministers' and senior politicians have made statements against India recently, with the intention of raising passions, and concluded that this is not the SAARC spirit', according to the cable.
He said it was time New Delhi sent a message to Dhaka, although the signal was not necessarily a negative one. Rather, it was meant to encourage Bangladesh to be introspective', Mr. Sandhu said. He added that India wanted Bangladesh to realize the danger to themselves from leaving certain issues unchecked.
