According to diplomats, India is not taking China’s influence over Bangladesh very well. New Delhi is keeping a keen eye on the level of friendship between the two countries in the future. Therefore, the center has also responded to this military exercise without naming it. Spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, Randhir Jaiswal, said in a press conference, “We keep an eye on all the incidents in our neighboring countries or in any other part. Especially the kind of events that can affect our economy and security.”
It should be noted that Sheikh Hasina won the 12th national election on January 7 with huge votes. He was congratulated by Chinese President Xi Jinping after being sworn in as Prime Minister for the fourth consecutive term. He gave a message to work on ‘Belt and Road’ project together with Dhaka. Since then, Beijing has become more desperate to pull Bangladesh closer. And India is keeping an eye on the entire course of events. Because no matter what China says, the Belt and Road project is actually a trap, most analysts think. The communist country is getting debt trap in the name of infrastructure development. India has always opposed the project. Because, a part of the Chinese project has gone over Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
