On the sidelines of the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Bangladesh foreign minister AK Abdul Momen on Sunday said that India should prevent moves that could hurt its historic ties with the neigbouring country.
According to Bangladesh commentators, the August 5 inauguration of Ayodhya temple construction could give a new political opportunity to the opponents of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Referring to the temple construction, Momen said that both countries will not let it destroy their relations, however, India should refrain from any development that could hurt its “deep” ties with Bangladesh.
Quoting Momen, The Hindu reported, “We will not allow this (temple construction) to hurt ties but I would still urge that India should not allow any development that can fracture our beautiful and deep relationship. This is valid for both our countries and I would say both sides should work in such a way so that such disruptions can be averted.”
