NEW DELHI: Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri is expected to raise with Dhaka India’s concerns over attacks on Hindus and other minorities as he embarks on a day-long visit to Bangladesh on Monday, in the first high-level trip from New Delhi after a massive uprising ended deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s 15-year rule in August.
Misri is scheduled to hold wide-ranging talks with his Bangladeshi counterpart Md. Jashim Uddin and meet the country’s de-facto foreign minister Mohammad Touhid Hossain.
It is learnt that the Indian foreign secretary is also likely to call on Bangladesh’s interim leader and Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus during his nearly 12-hour visit to Dhaka.
