ie the PM) had to contend with ..
in
Post #:75100493 watso commented upon possibility that it is the americans who initiated a colour revolution in bangladesh
anyway .. and from a link in that post .. the following ..
Sheikh Hasina is a Muslim but pursued a course of friendly relations with President Narendra Modi’s India and protected Bangladeshi Hindus. Sheikh Hasina also pursued a policy of friendly relations with Russia and China.
and take into account the comments made by the american ambassador to india
US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti on Thursday said that the India-US relationship was wider and deeper than it's ever been, but it was not deep enough to be taken "for granted". The remarks are being seen as a blunt message to India following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Russia, which is facing several sanctions from the West over its Ukraine invasion.
Addressing a defence conclave in Delhi, the US envoy added that India likes its strategic autonomy, but there is no such thing as "strategic autonomy" during a conflict.

but there is no such thing as "strategic autonomy" during a conflict." guess that the same applied to bangladesh .. and america was not happy with the stance taken by the former PM of that country ..
anyway will have to see how matters unfold
