India not to interfere in BD issues: Akbaruddin

Reiterating its policy, spokesperson of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Syed Akbaruddin said on Thursday the people and the government of Bangladesh would resolve issues themselves and India will not interfere in it, report agencies.
"…it has always been our view that it is for the people and the government of Bangladesh to resolve issues themselves," he said when a questioner wanted to know India's position on the current situation in Bangladesh at a press briefing at the MEA, according to transcript of the briefing.
When sought comment on the situation, the spokesperson said, "All we do is we wish Bangladesh, its government and people all the very best; and hope that they resolve their issues themselves."
He also said it is not for the government of India to make any judgment call on that reminding all that it is not their policy to intervene in matters which are essentially in the domestic jurisdiction of any of its neighbours or elsewhere.
The UK also expressed its concern over the violence.
However another report adds: The Indian BJP government is ready to stay beside Sheikh Hasina's government in this political crisis following unprecedented political instability and violence that Bangladesh witnessed since early January, says BBC Bangla quoting BJP leaders.
"There's no possibility to stay away from a tested friend like Sheikh Hasina," the report said quoting front-ranking BJP leaders.
However, they said they also have contact with BNP which is nothing other than political relations, it said.
Though there is a change in Indian government, there is indication that BJP leadership is fully keeping trust on the Hasina government.
Paschimbanga acting BJP leader Siddharth Nath Singh, who is in touch with Bangladesh politics, has admitted it.
"Though India's relations is with Bangladesh, it's a factor that who is in power. In that perspective, Sheikh Hasina government has showed generosity towards India's interest and concerns," Singh was quoted as saying.
On the basis on intelligence report, Indian current leadership thinks there is no chance for a declaration of state emergency in Bangladesh.
