Frozen ties

India has consistently stated that it wants to have normal neighbourly relations with Pakistan, but it has insisted that Islamabad must establish an atmosphere free from hatred and terror for this to happen.

The Indo-Pakistan hostility is a long-marinated issue in the history of global diplomacy. Anti-Pakistan sentiment has always been fuming among Indians.

This puts forward a dicey situation in front of Pakistan. Currently, the question arises: what's next with the Indo-Pakistan differences?

Considering the escape of Sheikh Hasina, the political governing structure of Bangladesh has turned upside down. Following the reconstruction of the government, the emergence of Jamaat could be seen in the political dynamics of Bangladesh. The reappearance of Jamaat is a clear indication of the reinforcement of Pakistan's dominance over Bangladesh. The involvement of Pakistan is assumed to be imposed over Bangladesh by being in the shadow of Jamaat.

On the other hand, Bangladesh, with its new governing body, assures to take positive steps towards India-Bangladesh diplomatic relations. Here the point is, what would India do about its ties with Bangladesh even after knowing the current stand of Pakistan relating to Bangladesh? According to Indian authorities, we should not take any confrontational approach to Dhaka. We should not delink the diplomatic tie, but we have to be assertive about the increasing attack on the Hindu minority.
