An Indian parliamentary committee led by Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has described Bangladesh’s current political and security situation as India’s most serious strategic challenge since the 1971 Liberation War. The committee urged the Indian government to handle the crisis with extreme caution and issued several policy recommendations to safeguard New Delhi’s regional influence.
The report warns that Bangladesh’s shifting political alignment—marked by closer ties with Pakistan and China—could erode India’s strategic relevance in Dhaka. It cited China’s growing presence through infrastructure projects such as the Mongla port expansion, Lalmonirhat airbase, and Pekua submarine base. The committee also noted that previously banned Jamaat-e-Islami has regained registration to contest elections, while the interim government has barred the Awami League, raising concerns about electoral inclusivity.
Among its recommendations, the panel called for strict monitoring to prevent any foreign military base in Bangladesh and urged India to offer preferential access in connectivity and port development. Analysts view the report as a signal for recalibrating India’s neighborhood policy amid intensifying regional competition.
