A day after Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) summoned the Indian envoy over remarks by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, officials distanced themselves from Mr. Sarma’s observations saying those were “individual opinions”.
Stakeholders aware of the formal direction of India’s neighbourhood policy said India’s commitment to normalise ties with Bangladesh will not be affected by remarks from individual commentators who may have differing opinions.
