Bangladesh refused to take Imran’s J&K bait: India

NEW DELHI: Following Pakistan PM Imran Khan’s conversation with his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina during which he raised the Kashmir issue, the government on Thursday said its ties with Bangladesh were timetested and historic and that it appreciated Dhaka's stance that Jammu & Kashmir is India’s internal matter.
In his conversation with Hasina, Khan had “stressed the importance of peaceful resolution of the J&K dispute for a safe and prosperous region”.
MEA spokesman Anurag Srivastava said India and Bangladesh on Thursday marked another historic achievement towards strengthening their maritime and economic partnership. The first ever movement of container cargo from Kolkata to Agartala through the Chattogram Port was successfully concluded on Thursday.
