32)Sheikh Hasina the right choice as primary guest to the Republic Morning but trust the PMO to miss the obvious
India Republic Day -- Coming from a record 10 Chief Guest visitors for the Republic Day Celebration in 2018 to none in 2021 is as much a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the pack approach to foreign policy.
Coming from a record 10 Chief Guest visitors for the Republic Day Celebration in 2018 to none in 2021 is as much a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the pack approach to foreign policy as his blind spots whilst zeroing in on an extraordinary foreign dignitary.
Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister of Bangladesh would have been the perfect Republic Day Chief Guest this season for umpteen reasons nevertheless it obviously didnt occur to Modi to single her away for the honour. I shiver to even speculate whether a visionary and statesman like Modi is blinded through her religion or girl or boy or both to pass her up?
Instead of inviting Uk PM Boris Johnson who else ultimately chickened out Hasina should have been Modis programmed choice this year as it is typically the 50th anniversary of the birth and labor of Bangladesh in 1971 as well as the 50th year of the place of diplomatic relations in between New Delhi and Dhaka. Indias role in the design of Bangladesh by crushing the Pakistani army is too well known. I have brought it up only to underline our buy-ins in Bangladesh. Moreover Hasina has been Indias steadfast as well as unwavering ally in Southern Asia who has even surpassed swords with Pakistan upon Indias behalf. Her authentic commitment to New Delhi is a proven and accepted fact. My friends in the Exterior Affairs Ministry and the security and safety establishment tell me that that you of the biggest priorities of the foreign policy is to make sure that Hasina somehow remains typically the PM of Bangladesh which usually proves how invested we live in her.
Modi have a strange fixation for Initially World leaders. Last year they pulled out all stops to seize Donald Trump as the Main Guest to show his home constituency that whether it is Barrack Obama or Trump simply no US President can say no to Modi. But Trump was too frightened through pollution levels in Delhi or simply too bored with Modi to accept the invitation which usually resulted in an eleventh hour or so invite to the obnoxious as well as repulsive Jair Bolsonaro connected with Brazil. In a sense Modi acquired the last laugh though. They lured Trump to Ahmedabad and Delhi in Feb 2020 with the promise regarding Gujarati votes in the US elections! This time Modi eyed typically the dishevelled Johnson who is incidentally also hard of ability to hear. It was a done bargain until it suddenly fell by means of so close to January 21 that finding another Main Guest on the rebound was well and truly impossible leaving Modi stranded.
Hasina has done so much for The indian subcontinent that Modi keeps paying out Bangladesh compliment after compliment. He recently described the existing phase of bilateral relations as the golden era regarding India-Bangladesh ties. Modi surely doesnt talk out of his or her hat. He means what exactly he says. During a 90-minute long Virtual Summit along with Hasina on December 17 2020 he said: Bangladesh is a major pillar regarding Indias Neighbourhood First insurance plan. From the very first day as EVENING strengthening and development of relations with Ban gladesh has been a special priority for me. Hasina immediately reciprocated by calling India Bangladeshs true friend.
There are far too many instances of this kind of cordial exchanges. But I became most touched by what Hasina said during a World Fiscal Forum meeting in 2018 in Dalian. Our relations with India are organic and natural. It cannot be measured by just a few billion dollars regarding trade. India and Bangladesh shed blood together for that creation of my region.
In Octobe r 2020 India posted a new High Commissioner Bikram Doraiswami who else drove to Dhaka as opposed to flying there. While visiting the Awami League headquarters upon December 23 2020 Doraiswami according to a report in Ittefaq a leading Bangladeshi newspaper said that if the Awami League isnt there The indian subcontinent will be friendless in Bangladesh. If thats indeed genuine doesnt Awami League extraordinario Hasina - who has supposed Modi to Dhaka as being the Chief Guest on the occasion of the 50th anniversary regarding Bangladeshs independence in Walk 2021 - deserve as a Chief Guest at our Republic Day?
