India ‘disregarded’ friendly advice from Bangladesh and extended ‘unrestrained’ support to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, which was partly responsible for the misgovernance the country was subjected to during her tenure, said Ghulam Mohammad Quader, chief of Jatiyo Party and a former ally of Ms. Hasina, which is contesting in the upcoming election of Bangladesh.

Speaking to The Hindu over the telephone from Dhaka, Mr. Quader said his party is not receiving support from the current administration because of its past association with the Awami League and accused the country’s interim government of lacking sincerity in delivering an inclusive election.
“I advised India on multiple occasions to not give unrestrained support to Sheikh Hasina’s government, but they did not listen to my suggestions. Ultimately, she was thrown out, but there is no certainty ahead of us because the uprising has not led to any concrete political outcome,” Mr. Quader said.
