“We had tasks that measured due to the congestion we see in Uurports and our airports. But I would also remember, please, take a look at the development of Bangladesh before the previous measures,” Sainton on a question about obstacles in commercial ties between Dhaka and Nueva Delhi.

‘Regressive steps’

Before India stopped the Tranship Center for the Bangladesh load, Dhaka’s interim government had decided to close three land ports with India and suspended operations in another land port, citing the lack of infrastructure necessary for operations. The sources here said that New Delhi saw these theses as “regressive steps” that were “unilaterally” tasks.

Mr. Jaiswal refused to comment on Bangladesh stopping his importation of Indian thread earlier this week, but an official source said India feels that the decision was tasks of allowing “more Pakistan imports.”

The authorities said that Bangladesh’s decision to establish a research, research and management unit (SMB) in January to inspect the loading movements through the Benapole land port was a “restrictive step that would add the delay in the processing of the movement of goods.”

Dhaka hits WB attacks

Meanwhile, Bangladesh chief advisor Muhammed, Yunus press secretary Shafiqul Alam, on Thursday (April 17, 2025) refuted the reports that Bangladesh citizens were involved in the recent disturbances of the Anti-Waqf law in Western Bengal.

“We strongly refute any attempt to involve Bangladesh in community violence in Murshidabad. We condemn attacks on Muslims that cause losses and properties. We urge the government of India and Western Bengala to give all measures.” Alam said.
