Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam stated on Facebook that during a bilateral meeting, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi showed great respect for Professor Muhammad Yunus. Praising Yunus’ work, Modi reportedly said, “We have seen the disrespectful treatment you received from Hasina, despite our good relationship with her. But we have always respected you.” Shafiqul further revealed that when Professor Yunus raised the issue of Sheikh Hasina’s extradition, India’s response was not negative. “We are confident that one day Hasina will be extradited to Dhaka and we will witness the trial of the century!” he said. Modi also reportedly emphasized several times that India’s relationship is with the people of Bangladesh, not with any one party or individual.
