12)Sheikh Hasina the right choice as primary guest to the Republic Day but trust the PMO to miss the obvious

India Republic Day -- F rom the record 10 Chief Attendees for the Republic Day Attend in 2018 to non-e in 2021 is as significantly a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the field approach to foreign policy.

From your record 10 Chief Attendees for the Republic Day Attend in 2018 to non-e in 2021 is as significantly a reflection on Prime Minister Narendra Modis out of the field approach to foreign policy since his blind spots even though zeroing in on an incredible foreign dignitary.

Sheikh Hasina Prime Minister of Bangladesh would have been the perfect Republic Day Chief Guest this season for umpteen reasons nonetheless it obviously didnt occur to Modi to single her away for the honour. I shiver to even speculate whether a visionary and statesman such as Modi is blinded through her religion or sexual category or both to pass her up?

Instead of inviting British PM Boris Johnson who else ultimately chickened out Hasina should have been Modis auto choice this year as it is often the 50th anniversary of the birth of Bangladesh in 1971 along with the 50th year of the organization of diplomatic relations among New Delhi and Dhaka. Indias role in the development of Bangladesh by killer the Pakistani army is actually well known. I have brought it up only to underline our pegs in Bangladesh. Moreover Hasina has been Indias steadfast as well as unwavering ally in South Asia who has even crossed swords with Pakistan upon Indias behalf. Her genuine commitment to New Delhi is a proven and acknowledged fact. My friends in the Exterior Affairs Ministry and the protection establishment tell me that that one of the biggest priorities in our foreign policy is to make sure Hasina somehow remains often the PM of Bangladesh which proves how invested we live in her.

Modi has a strange fixation for Initial World leaders. Last year he / she pulled out all stops to seize Donald Trump as the Main Guest to show his household constituency that whether it is Barrack Obama or Trump not any US President can say no to Modi. But Trump was too frightened through pollution levels in Delhi or simply too bored with Modi to accept the invitation which resulted in an eleventh hr invite to the obnoxious as well as repulsive Jair Bolsonaro rega rding Brazil. In a sense Modi experienced the last laugh though. They lured Trump to Ahmedabad and Delhi in Feb . 2020 with the promise of Gujarati votes in the US elections! This time Modi eyed often the dishevelled Johnson who is by the way also hard of experiencing. It was a done offer until it suddenly fell via so close to January 26 that finding another Main Guest on the rebound seemed to be well and truly extremely hard leaving Modi stranded.

Hasina has done so much for China that Modi keeps paying out Bangladesh compliment after accompany. He recently described the current phase of bilateral relationships as the golden era of India-Bangladesh ties. Modi certainly doesnt talk out of his or her hat. He means what he says. During a 90-minute long Virtual Summit with Hasina on December 19 2020 he said: Bangladesh is a major pillar of Indias Neighbourhood First policy. From the very first day as PM HOURS strengthening and development of relationships with Ban gladesh has been a exclusive priority for me. Hasina immediately reciprocated by getting in touch with India Bangladeshs true friend.

There are far too many instances of these cordial exchanges. But I got most touched by what Hasina said during a World Financial Forum meeting in 2018 in Dalian. Our relationships with India are organic. It cannot be measured by a few billion dollars of trade. India and Bangladesh shed blood together for any creation of my land.

In Octobe r 2020 India posted a new High Commissioner Bikram Doraiswami who else drove to Dhaka instead of flying there. While visiting the Awami League headquarters upon December 23 2020 Doraiswami according to a report in Ittefaq a leading Bangladeshi newspaper remarked that if the Awami League isnt there China will be friendless in Bangladesh. If thats indeed real doesnt Awami League superior Hasina - who has supposed Modi to Dhaka for the reason that Chief Guest on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Bangladeshs independence in Drive 2021 - deserve to be the Chief Guest at each of our Republic Day?
