The Chief Minister of India's northeastern state of Assam has drawn controversy after making remarks opposing closer India-Bangladesh relations. In a recent interview, he stated that he personally prays for the relationship between the two countries not to improve, saying he wishes the situation to remain as it was during the time of 'Yunus'. The interview was broadcast on April 15, 2026, but parts of it have recently gone viral on social media.
During the same interview with an Indian media outlet, the Chief Minister discussed the alleged 'push-back' process along the India-Bangladesh border. He claimed that border security forces sometimes hold individuals for days or weeks before forcibly sending them across the border, often at night when Bangladeshi forces are not present. He also referred to Bangladesh’s border force by its old name, 'BDR', instead of its current name, 'BGB'.
Analysts noted that his comments came at a time when India appeared to be signaling renewed diplomatic engagement with Bangladesh, particularly following the announcement of former Union Minister Dinesh Trivedi’s appointment as ambassador to Dhaka.
