Bangladesh's interim Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has drawn sharp criticism from Indian political leaders after claiming that Bangladesh is the 'only guardian' of the Indian Ocean for India's northeastern states, which he described as landlocked. The remarks, made during a meeting with Chinese officials, were seen as provocative and disrespectful by Indian politicians across party lines. Critics accused Yunus of undermining regional cooperation and stoking tensions between the two countries. The comments have sparked calls for a diplomatic response and raised concerns about Bangladesh's growing alignment with China. The controversy adds strain to already sensitive India-Bangladesh relations, particularly in the context of regional trade and connectivity.
