Bangladesh Government cancels visit of 50 judges to India for training

Dhaka (Bangladesh) – On Sunday, 5th January 2025 Bangladesh cancelled the visit by a delegation of its judicial officials to India. In a circular, the Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs said the officials who were scheduled to attend a training programme in Bhopal between 10th February and 20th February has been cancelled. The cancellation is being interpreted as a hint that Bangladesh will reconsider some of the agreements and MoUs that were signed during the Hasina era as the training of judicial officials was part of one such bilateral MoU. The entire cost of the training program was to be borne by the Government of India. (If the training was to be undertaken by judges from Bangladesh, why would the Indian Government bear their expenses ? – Editor)

Editorial Perspective

Bangladesh is taking various decisions every day regarding India. Attacks on Hindus are continuing there, while India’s apparent inaction is worrying.
