New Delhi: A major row has erupted after Muhammad Yunus presented a book to a visiting Pakistani general with a map of India that shows the northeastern states as part of Bangladesh.

This took place during the visit of Pakistan’s joint chiefs of staff committee chairperson, General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, to Dhaka over the weekend. The meeting came amid a recent thaw in ties between Pakistan and Bangladesh. ADVERTISEMENT

This policy shift took place after the ouster of former Bangladeshi prime minister Sk Hasina from the country in August 2024. Yunus took over as head of an interim government within days. Since then, cases have been registered against Hasina and several of her aides, many of them Mukti Joddhas who had fought against Pakistan in 1971 to liberate the country.
