BNP leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi criticized India for constantly discussing Bangladesh in its diplomatic engagements. He pointed out that India has held discussions about Bangladesh with the United States and the United Kingdom, questioning why Bangladesh is a frequent topic in such talks. “Does Bangladesh not have its own government? This is a sovereign country, separate from its neighboring states. Who gave you the right to discuss Bangladesh with other nations?” he asked. Rizvi further alleged that India has turned into a political safe haven for Sheikh Hasina’s allies, helping to transform Bangladesh into a submissive state under her rule.
