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

India Republic Day -- F rom the record 10 Chief Guests for the Republic Day March in 2018 to none in 2021 is as considerably a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the package approach to foreign policy.

Coming from a record 10 Chief Guests for the Republic Day March in 2018 to none in 2021 is as considerably a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the package approach to foreign policy as 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 current year for umpteen reasons but it obviously didnt occur to Modi to single her available for the honour. I shudder to even speculate if the visionary and statesman similar to Modi is blinded simply by her religion or girl or boy or both to pass the woman up?

Instead of inviting English PM Boris Johnson who else ultimately chickened out Hasina should have been Modis automatic choice this year as it is typically the 50th anniversary of the birth and labor of Bangladesh in 1971 plus the 50th year of the organization of diplomatic relations in between New Delhi and Dhaka. Indias role in the creation of Bangladesh by killer the Pakistani army is obviously well known. I have brought it up only to underline our blind levels in Bangladesh. Moreover Hasina has been Indias steadfast in addition to unwavering ally in To the south Asia who has even crossed swords with Pakistan on Indias behalf. Her legitimate commitment to New Delhi is a proven and accepted fact. My friends in the Outside Affairs Ministry and the protection establishment tell me that that certain of the biggest priorities of your foreign policy is to make certain that Hasina somehow remains typically the PM of Bangladesh that proves how invested we have been in her.

Modi has a strange fixation for First World leaders. Last year he pulled out all stops to seize Donald Trump as the Main Guest to show his household constituency that whether it is Barrack Obama or Trump not any US President can say no to Modi. But Trump was too frightened simply by pollution levels in Delhi or simply too bored with Modi to accept the invitation that resulted in an eleventh hours invite to the obnoxious in addition to repulsive Jair Bolsonaro associated with Brazil. In a sense Modi got the last laugh though. He lured Trump to Ahmedabad and Delhi in March 2020 with the promise of Gujarati votes in the US elections! This time Modi eyed typically the dishevelled Johnson who is by the way also hard of hearing. It was a done cope until it suddenly fell by so close to January 26 that finding another Main Guest on the rebound ended up being well and truly impossible leaving Modi stranded.

Hasina has done so much for China that Modi keeps paying Bangladesh compliment after supplement. He recently described the actual phase of bilateral relations as the golden era of India-Bangladesh ties. Modi surely doesnt talk out of his hat. He means what he says. During a 90-minute long Virtual Summit with Hasina on December 19 2020 he said: Bangladesh is a major pillar of Indias Neighbourhood First insurance plan. From the very first day as PM HOURS strengthening and development of relations with Ban gladesh has been a particular priority for me. Hasina immediately reciprocated by phoning India Bangladeshs true friend.

There are far too many instances of these cordial exchanges. But I got most touched by what Hasina said during a World Economical Forum meeting in 2018 in Dalian. Our relations with India are organically grown. It cannot be measured by way of a few billion dollars of trade. India and Bangladesh shed blood together for any creation of my nation.

In Octobe r 2020 India posted a new High Commissioner Bikram Doraiswami who else drove to Dhaka rather than flying there. While browsing Awami League headquarters on December 23 2020 Doraiswami according to a report in Ittefaq a leading Bangladeshi newspaper stated that if the Awami League isnt there China will be friendless in Bangladesh. If thats indeed real doesnt Awami League crucial Hasina - who has supposed Modi to Dhaka because the Chief Guest on the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Bangladeshs independence in Walk 2021 - deserve like a Chief Guest at the Republic Day?
