Ahead of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s reported August 5 programme, Bangladesh on Monday conveyed to India that Dhaka expects New Delhi’s cooperation in ensuring that any person, including fugitive Hasina, cannot use Indian territory to make political statements or conduct any activities aimed at creating instability within Bangladesh. Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Adviser Humaiun Kobir conveyed the message when newly appointed Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Dinesh Trivedi met him at the Prime Minister's Office in Tejgaon, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Adviser Kobir mentioned that such activities could harm the positive progress of bilateral relations between the two countries. The Indian High Commissioner assured that the matter would be duly considered, necessary inquiries would be made, and efforts would be made in this regard.
