Senior Bangladesh minister on Sheikh Hasina’s future, India ties, and ‘secularism’ stance | BBC News

Will the presence of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in India prevent India-Bangladesh relationship from growing? How does the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) view the ‘push back’ policy – under which people considered illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in India are pushed into Bangladesh – especially since Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has warned there will be more ‘push backs’ in 2026?. And finally, why does the BNP oppose the presence of the word ‘secular’ in the country’s constitution? BBC’s Jugal Purohit sat down with the newly-sworn in Cabinet Minister of the Bangladeshi government in Dhaka right before his swearing-in to find answers to the above questions and more.
