33)Sheikh Hasina the right choice as key guest to the Republic Moment but trust the PMO to miss the obvious

India Republic Day -- F rom the record 10 Chief Attendees for the Republic Day Attend in 2018 to none in 2021 is as significantly a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the container approach to foreign policy.

Originating from a record 10 Chief Attendees for the Republic Day Attend in 2018 to none in 2021 is as significantly a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the container approach to foreign policy since his blind spots even though zeroing in on an extraordinary foreign dignitary.

Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister of Bangladesh would have been the perfect Republic Day Chief Guest the 2010 season for umpteen reasons however it obviously didnt occur to Modi to single her available for the honour. I shudder to even speculate whether a visionary and statesman like Modi is blinded by her religion or girl or boy or both to pass the woman up?

Instead of inviting British isles PM Boris Johnson who also ultimately chickened out Hasina should have been Modis automatic choice this year as it is the 50th anniversary of the birth and labor of Bangladesh in 1971 plus the 50th year of the place of diplomatic relations concerning New Delhi and Dhaka. Indias role in the generation of Bangladesh by bashing the Pakistani army large well known. I have brought up only to underline our pegs in Bangladesh. Moreover Hasina has been Indias steadfast in addition to unwavering ally in To the south Asia who has even entered swords with Pakistan about Indias behalf. Her authentic commitment to New Delhi is a proven and acknowledged fact. My friends in the Outside Affairs Ministry and the security and safety establishment tell me that that certain of the biggest priorities of our foreign policy is to make certain that Hasina somehow remains the PM of Bangladesh which proves how invested we could in her.

Modi has a strange fixation for First World leaders. Last year they pulled out all stops to grab Donald Trump as the Fundamental Guest to show his local constituency that whether it is Barrack Obama or Trump simply no US President can say no to Modi. But Overcome was too frightened by pollution levels in Delhi or simply too bored with Modi to accept the invitation which resulted in an eleventh hour or so invite to the obnoxious in addition to repulsive Jair Bolsonaro rega rding Brazil. In a sense Modi experienced the last laugh though. He lured Trump to Ahmedabad and Delhi in February 2020 with the promise associated with Gujarati votes in the US elections! This time Modi eyed the dishevelled Johnson who is incidentally also hard of ability to hear. It was a done bargain until it suddenly fell by means of so close to January 28 that finding another Fundamental Guest on the rebound seemed to be well and truly extremely hard leaving Modi stranded.

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

There are far too many instances of such cordial exchanges. But I was most touched by what Hasina said during a World Economic Forum meeting in 2018 in Dalian. Our contact with India are organic. It cannot be measured by the 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 Higher Commissioner Bikram Doraiswami who also drove to Dhaka instead of flying there. While browsing Awami League headquarters about December 23 2020 Doraiswami according to a report in Ittefaq a leading Bangladeshi newspaper said that if the Awami League isnt there The indian subcontinent will be friendless in Bangladesh. If thats indeed genuine doesnt Awami League supremo Hasina - who has a sked Modi to Dhaka for the reason that Chief Guest on the situation of the 50th anniversary associated with Bangladeshs independence in March 2021 - deserve like a Chief Guest at all of our Republic Day?
