The Modi government has made a mockery of its foreign policy, with whom should the prime minister speak – Owaisi said on the Bangladesh situation.
AIMIM leader and MP Asaduddin Owaisi has hit out at the central government's indifference to the deteriorating situation in Bangladesh. Owaisi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's diplomacy is based on the leader rather than the country. He made a mockery of foreign policy. PM Modi should say whether he is with Sheikh Hasina or with the people there. On the rapidly changing situation in the neighboring country, Asaduddin Owaisi, in a special conversation with TV9 Bharatvarsha, targeted the Modi government and said that PM Modi should give a statement on the Bangladesh issue and say who he is with. The protest that started in Bangladesh against reservation gradually turned violent, in which many people were killed. Faced with the aggressive nature of the protesters, Sheikh Hasina resigned from her post on Monday and left her country for India. It is not yet clear where Hasina will go from here. However, many of his relatives who had come with him to India have gone to London. India needs to clarify its position: Owaisi On India's position, Asaduddin Owaisi said, “Why didn't PM Modi say that we are with the people of Bangladesh. You must say whether you are with the deposed leader or with the public. Asked whether Sheikh Hasina should not be given security in the country, Owaisi said, “My question is with the government. Tomorrow the elected government there says send them and file a case against them. What will PM Modi do in this situation? Then he said, “Modi government's policy is based on leaders. Whereas foreign policy is country based. You don't know what happened in Afghanistan. We trained thousands of people. Where are those people? They long to come to India. Running from here to there. What happened in the Maldives and Sri Lanka is unknown. A lot happened in Myanmar, but you never know. Then you know what. Is this your foreign policy?” Now you will see DP: Owaisi Owaisi, “Many of my friends there told me that Sheikh Hasina should go. External Affairs Minister Jaishankar said in the all-party meeting held today that Pakistan may have a hand in this issue. Their diplomat has changed his DP. Now you will see DB. What kind of joke is this? You people need to know this is happening. They say China and America did it together. Since when did they meet? They have made a mockery of our foreign policy. Does this work?” On the possible threat to India from the violent climate in Bangladesh, Owaisi said there is definitely a threat. Who would deny this? But the Prime Minister of our country never gets tired of smiling even when he meets the leader of any country in the world. It was his fault that he personally determined his foreign policy. It should have been said now that leaders come and go, but relations with Bangladesh should always be good. “If we don't make our presence felt there, China and Pakistan will benefit.” Govt must talk about change: Owaisi Why not say we are with Bangladeshi people If the government there says to send our leader back to us tomorrow, what will we do? Owaisi said that he should talk to the government about the atrocities against Hindus in the neighboring country. The Prime Minister should have spoken when the changes came. There is still a waiting period.
