00:00Mr. Kumar the developments here happening in the neighborhood are disturbing least to say

00:07troubled neighbor and

00:09Prime Minister on the run

00:11How does this?

00:13Augur for New Delhi first of all and secondly, what are the possibilities of Sheikh Hasina?

00:19Not stopping in India and flying all the way to London. I

00:23I

00:26Think both are possible. See the thing is that India has been in this kind of position before also when

00:32Bangladesh has been

00:35in a politically unsettled position

00:39and you know, it's a when you have a regime being replaced are being

00:45You know

00:46If I won't use the word cool

00:48but when we they're being forced to resign a prime minister has been forced to resign and

00:54Leave the country. See there is no plan B the protesters when they started the protest

01:01It was there. They did not start with this assumption that they are going to

01:06force the regime to exit it was the

01:10circumstances emerged in such a way that

01:14Sheikh Hasina did not have any option but to leave the country and resign

01:20So there was no plan B and you know, whenever you have a protest mean in such a large scale

01:27the students were concerned about their future when they started the protest against reservation and

01:33later on this

01:35spontaneous protest

01:37Was taken over and by supported by other political groups

01:42The opponents of Sheikh Hasina

01:44Now what has happened is that?

01:47There is a there is no plan B

01:49So naturally the army intervenes that has happened in past also when the army intervenes

01:55that means that the situation in the country is not good and

02:00And the army will have to you know

02:03first they will have the first concern of the army is to assuage the sentiments of the protesters and

02:10To fight for that they will have to find a face in Dhaka

02:15who can be the head of the caretaker government and the face and that face has to be

02:24Somebody who is clean who has a popular support who enjoys

02:30Bipartisan support also that is very important. What I'm hearing is that

02:35the economist and the Nobel laureate

02:39Dr. Yunus is probably one of the faces being discussed as the caretaker chief

02:46but dr. Yunus also has a reputation of being anti awami league and anti Sheikh Hasina and and

02:54Also, he he has been anti dynastic. He has been advocating an anti dynastic politics

03:01But in the present scenario what have what are what are the options for?

03:06Say a new caretaker head the option for him is to

03:10Take the support of Jamaat-e-Islami

03:13Jatiya party and the BMP

03:17Bangladesh Nationalist Party, they they are the opponents of awami league. So even even

03:24Dr. Yunus despite having a good intention will not be in a position to dictate terms and rule the way

03:32he wants and

03:33Take the country in a different direction where not only BNP and awami are in a position to rule the country

03:40But also there is a third alternative

03:43He wants to be a third alternative, but the situation

03:47Circumstances in Bangladesh is not such right now which allows

03:53For a third for a third alternative. What I believe is that the protesters most of the students protesters

03:59they are communist also they are

04:02Liberal students secular students, of course backed by

04:06Jamaat-e-Islami and BNP they would like a government which is

04:11We which presents which presents a third third alternative in Bangladesh

04:17Which is which is not BNP, which is not awami league, which I think right now is not going to happen

04:23So what is going to happen now, though? So the caretaker government will take the charge and

04:29They and try to restore

04:32credibility's normalcy in in Bangladesh and

04:36For four months they will rule

04:40But what suppose a new election happens then what's going to happen the new election when the new election happens?

04:47Will they allow awami league to participate in the election?

04:51that will also be the question if if the whole debate is about democracy and it's all it's also about

04:58That the Sheikh Hasina has been crushing democracy and they were she was not giving

05:03A space to the liberal voices and those democratic voices

05:08So will the new regime the new kind of set a political setup that comes in Dhaka?

05:14will they allow a level playing field to all the political parties despite the

05:20grudges and grievances the opponents have against

05:25Awami league ruling awami league, which has been in power for the last 15 years

05:29So I see this kind of a scenario for India the second question that you asked for India is a double-edged sword

05:36if if India gives shelter to

05:41awami league to Sheikh Hasina a

05:44Very unpopular leader right now

05:47India will be also, you know

05:51Taking the anger of the people on the streets in Bangladesh and

05:58India claiming to be a friend of Bangladesh. I don't think India will

06:05like to have

06:07Any position where it is backing a very unpopular leader who has escaped the nation

06:14So this is the situation I feel

06:17Yeah, so this is what I feel
