Only by opinion brother.
Those who oppose Indian govt. hegemony over Bangladesh are the true patriots.
However we have no issues with people-to-people relations with Indians.

Indian people vote for BJP---A die hard anti Muslim political party in India. The Indian people have been brainwashed by RSS and I don't expect friendship from them.Only by opinion brother.

Loktantra (Democracy) will return to India, I am always an optimist about that. Modi succeeded in duping the Indians - that is true.
Dhruv Rathee is an Indian I like.

Congress is also an anti Muslim/anti Bangladesh entity in India. As for Bangladesh India relations, Congress has harmed Bangladesh more than BJP. The Farakka barrage was created by Congress, South Talpatti was forcefully occupied by Congress, Shanti Bahini was created by Congress, Border killings were initiated by Congress, Gajoldoba and Tipaimukh barrages were created by Congress. I am sure they will try to jeopardize our civilian nuclear program if they come to power. That's why I have no hope for relation between Bangladesh and India.

Repayment of Russian loans to be delayed, Chinese credit on hold

The government has taken fresh measures to ease the pressure of foreign debt payments. Payments of Russian loans on the Rooppur nuclear power plant project are to be deferred for two years, and Russia has already responded positively to the proposal from Bangladesh. If payment of the Russian debt instalments is deferred for two years, the government can save about USD 800 million now, according to sources at the Economic Relations Division (ERD).
Officials said the ERD is working on amending the previous loan agreements and a draft has been finalised, followed by sending it to the Ministry of Science and Technology and other ministries concerned.
In the meantime, the government has decided to back off from the plan to take Chinese loans equivalent to USD 5 billion amid the changed political situation. These loans were supposed to be received in Chinese currency yuan.
According to the ERD sources, the government wants to defer the payment of the instalment of the loans on the Rooppur nuclear power plant project on the ground that the country's economy is still under pressure due to Covid-19 and the Ukraine situation. On the other hand, a decision has been taken to run proper scrutiny before taking any bilateral loans from China due to the changed political situation. Officials said ERD received such instructions from the policymakers.
Salim Raihan, executive director of South Asian Network on Economic Modeling (SANEM), said there is still pressure on foreign debt payment, and it is a good initiative to defer the payment of the debt capital of the Rooppur nuclear power plant construction. Like the Rooppur project, negotiations should also start to defer payment of debt capital on such other projects, and for this, it is necessary to form a high-powered committee.
