\\\'People need to resolve internal issues\\\'

Indian government will work with Bangladesh government, India's external affairs ministry's spokesperson on Friday said Bangladesh’s internal issues should be left to the people of Bangladesh to resolve. Syed Akbaruddin was briefing journalists' in the city on Friday moment before the departure of Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj who made a 38-hour long visit to the country. Sushma Swaraj's visit came amid speculation that the change of regime in India may stand in the way of flourishing Dhaka-Delhi relationship, often described as being ‘at the best’ in history during the past five years when a Congress-led government was in power in New Delhi. But Swaraj gave a strong message that her government would not only continue but also build upon the momentum of the relations. In her lecture on India-Bangladesh ties on Thursday evening, she made it clear that she came to Bangladesh ‘with a message of friendship and goodwill’ from the newly elected government of India. Is the new Indian government ready to work with the Awami league government for its full tenure until 2019? – was a question a journalist asked to Akbaruddin. ‘Governments work with governments. Indian government will work with the government of Bangladesh. All other issues internal to Bangladesh will need to be addressed and resolved by the people of the country,’ he replied, according to a news agency.
