Episode Bangladesh Elections: Will US Criticism Of Sheikh Hasina Complicate India's Diplomacy With Dhaka? | Geeta's World, Ep 73
Bangladesh gears up for its 12th general elections on January 7, but there are concerns of the elections being lopsided. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is expected to be seeking a record fourth-term in office, but major opposition parties such as the BNP are opting to boycott, with discussions about reinstating a caretaker government for elections. But many critics feel that the return to the caretaker government will be counterproductive in protecting democratic institutions in Bangladesh and might hinder the progress of the country. So will going back to a caretaker government actually help the opposition? And if Sheikh Hasina secures a fourth term, what changes can be expected in her foreign policy, particularly in engagements with China and the US? Our host Anna Priyadarshini and foreign affairs editor at India Today, TV Today Network Geeta Mohan discuss in this episode of Geeta's World! Listen in!
