Hasina NOT in B'desh plane that flew out of Hindon
August 06, 2024 11:37So, the earlier report that Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's plane takes off from Hindon Air Base is partly true. The Bangladesh Air Force C-130J transport aircraft that took off this morning is flying with 7 military personnel in it towards its base in Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, on the current situation in Bangladesh, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "As far as India is concerned, the first and most important signal we need to send to the people of Bangladesh is that we stand with them, there are no other vested interests that India has...There are some disturbing reports coming, of attacks on Hindu homes, temples and individuals. We all saw the pictures of looting yesterday. It may calm down and stabilize in a couple of days, if it doesn't, then there is a risk even of refugees fleeing to our country and that would be a matter of grave concern. I hope that our High Commissioner and our staff there are safe and monitoring the situation closely.
"We still don't know who is going to be in the interim government. There are some understandable concerns in India about the increasing influence of the Jamaat-e-Islami, which has taken a very hostile attitude to India in the past, and possible meddling by China and Pakistan."
