Engineer and political researcher Jalal Uddin Omar, writing in *Amar Desh* on February 1, 2026, argued that India must reassess its approach toward Bangladesh following the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government. He recalled that Hasina resigned on August 5, 2024, amid mass protests and fled to India, ending the Awami League’s 15-and-a-half-year rule. An interim administration led by Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus was formed on August 8, 2024, to oversee reforms and prepare for a neutral election.
Omar contended that India’s close alignment with the Awami League had alienated the Bangladeshi public. He claimed that during Hasina’s tenure, Bangladesh prioritized Indian interests in bilateral agreements while India failed to reciprocate on key issues such as the Teesta water-sharing deal and border killings. He also criticized India’s alleged bias toward certain religious groups and its media’s portrayal of Bangladesh’s minority situation.
The author concluded that future India–Bangladesh relations must rest on equality, fairness, and mutual respect, emphasizing that sustainable friendship requires engagement with Bangladesh’s people rather than any single party or community.
