32)Sheikh Hasina the right choice as key guest to the Republic Day time but trust the PMO to miss the obvious

India Republic Day -- Coming from a record 10 Chief Guest visitors for the Republic Day Attend in 2018 to none in 2021 is as a lot a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the package approach to foreign policy.

From the record 10 Chief Guest visitors for the Republic Day Attend in 2018 to none in 2021 is as a lot a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the package approach to foreign policy while his blind spots whilst zeroing in on an remarkable foreign dignitary.

Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister of Bangladesh would have been the perfect Republic Day Chief Guest this year for umpteen reasons but it really obviously didnt occur to Modi to single her available for the honour. I shudder to even speculate if the visionary and statesman such as Modi is blinded through her religion or girl or boy or both to pass your girlfriend up?

Instead of inviting Uk PM Boris Johnson who also ultimately chickened out Hasina should have been Modis auto choice this year as it is the particular 50th anniversary of the beginning of Bangladesh in 1971 along with the 50th year of the institution of diplomatic relations among New Delhi and Dhaka. Indias role in the design of Bangladesh by crushing the Pakistani army is too well known. I have brought it up only to underline our blind levels in Bangladesh. Moreover Hasina has been Indias steadfast along with unwavering ally in Southern Asia who has even crossed swords with Pakistan upon Indias behalf. Her authentic commitment to New Delhi is a proven and identified fact. My friends in the Exterior Affairs Ministry and the safety establishment tell me that that certain of the biggest priorities of our own foreign policy is to make sure that Hasina somehow remains the particular PM of Bangladesh which usually proves how invested we are in her.

Modi has a strange fixation for 1st World leaders. Last year this individual pulled out all stops to seize Donald Trump as the Chief Guest to show his home constituency that whether it is Barrack Obama or Trump no US President can say no to Modi. But Trump was too frightened through pollution levels in Delhi or simply too bored with Modi to accept the invitation which usually resulted in an eleventh hour invite to the obnoxious along with repulsive Jair Bolsonaro associated with Brazil. In a sense Modi got the last laugh though. They lured Trump to Ahmedabad and Delhi in Feb . 2020 with the promise associated with Gujarati votes in the US elections! This time Modi eyed the particular dishevelled Johnson who is in addition also hard of hearing. It was a done offer until it suddenly fell by so close to January 28 that finding another Chief Guest on the rebound has been well and truly impossible leaving Modi stranded.

Hasina has done so much for China that Modi keeps paying Bangladesh compliment after go with. He recently described the actual phase of bilateral interaction as the golden era associated with India-Bangladesh ties. Modi absolutely doesnt talk out of their hat. He means what he says. During a 90-minute long Virtual Summit with Hasina on December 17 2020 he said: Bangladesh is a major pillar associated with Indias Neighbourhood First coverage. From the very first day as PM strengthening and development of interaction with Ban gladesh has been a special priority for me. Hasina immediately reciprocated by dialling India Bangladeshs true friend.

There are far too many instances of these cordial exchanges. But I became most touched by what Hasina said during a World Financial Forum meeting in 2018 in Dalian. Our interaction with India are organic. It cannot be measured by a few billion dollars associated with trade. India and Bangladesh shed blood together for your creation of my state.

In Octobe r 2020 India posted a new Substantial Commissioner Bikram Doraiswami who also drove to Dhaka as opposed to flying there. While browsing Awami League headquarters upon December 23 2020 Doraiswami according to a report in Ittefaq a leading Bangladeshi newspaper said that if the Awami League isnt there China will be friendless in Bangladesh. If thats indeed accurate doesnt Awami League soberano Hasina - who has supposed Modi to Dhaka for the reason that Chief Guest on the occasion of the 50th anniversary associated with Bangladeshs independence in Drive 2021 - deserve like a Chief Guest at each of our Republic Day?
