On the morning of August 5 last year, amid widespread upheaval in Bangladesh, India’s strongest supporter of Sheikh Hasina remained confident that the Awami League leader would ultimately withstand the most severe challenge to her 15-year rule. According to a report published by BBC on Tuesday, Indian intelligence and cabinet sources indicated that New Delhi believed Hasina’s survival was assured despite the intense domestic unrest.
That day saw historic celebrations across Bangladesh, but it also marked a critical moment for Indian politicians who found themselves largely in the dark about the unfolding events that could significantly alter regional geopolitics. Only three senior ministers and top intelligence officials closely monitored the situation, yet even they were optimistic about Hasina’s chances of overcoming the public anger.
Meanwhile, across the border, lawmakers from all parties were engaged in finalizing bills for approval during the first day of the concluding week of the monsoon parliamentary session, as the political landscape in Bangladesh faced a pivotal moment.
