DHAKA: After Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fraudulently won one-sided and controversial elections in Bangladesh, the public has started to express concerns and doubts about her victory.
People blamed the alleged interference by India’s Modi government in the political affairs of Bangladesh.
Voicing their concerns over alleged political manipulation and undue support from New Delhi towards the ruling Awami League, Bangladeshi activists have called for a boycott of Indian products, citing the need to counter the alleged interference in their democratic process.
The campaign has gained momentum in recent months, with people expressing their disapproval through different means, including social media activism and consumer actions.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s recent statement, seemingly in defense of India, has further fueled discontent among the public.
Effects of “India Out” Campaign
The effects of the “India Out” campaign are already being felt in trade ties between Bangladesh and India, with a considerable decline in the consumption of Indian goods.
