The diplomatic relationship between India and Bangladesh remains strained. A planned visit by PM Tarique Rahman has been stalled, signaling a period of uncertainty. The primary obstacle is the ongoing presence of Sheikh Hasina in New Delhi. Bangladesh views her residence in India as a contentious issue. India has not yet moved past this disagreement to restore full cooperation. This stalemate hinders progress on bilateral agreements and mutual trust. Consequently, the future of the strategic partnership remains precarious.
