One action by India and Bangladesh loses Rs 9367 crore, Modi govt punishes anti-India Yunus by...
New Delhi: The Modi government is in full action mode and taking all the stern steps to destroy terrorism and its breeding grounds. After launching a brutal attack on nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and PoK, the Indian government is now targeting countries that support Pakistan or maintain close ties with it. These include Turkey and Azerbaijan, and even Bangladesh, which has a deep friendship with China, is now on India's radar.
Recently, Mohammad Yunus made controversial remarks against India during his visit to China. Now, he is set to pay a heavy price for it. With just one move, India is about to cause a loss of USD 770 million—roughly Rs 6,581 crore or about 9,367 crore Bangladeshi Taka—to this close ally of China. Let's understand how this is happening… India Bans Land Ports for Bangladesh
The Modi government has launched a scathing economic strike against Bangladesh. India has banned several Bangladeshi goods from entering through its land ports. India revoked the transshipment facility it had granted in 2020, which had allowed Bangladesh to export to the Middle East and Europe via Indian ports and even the Delhi airport.
On Saturday, May 17, India imposed restrictions at its ports on several types of goods imported from Bangladesh, including ready-made garments and processed food products, among others.
On Saturday, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) issued a notification where it has stated that the import of ready-made garments from Bangladesh will now be restricted to just two ports—Nhava Sheva and Kolkata Port.
Imports through all other land ports will be prohibited. This clearly means that Bangladesh will now have to rely solely on sea ports for its exports instead of land ports. GTRI Reveals the Extent of Loss to Bangladesh
Following the directive from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), these steps were taken, in which the Government of India has immediately restricted Bangladeshi goods at land ports and allowed their entry only through two designated sea ports.
A report released by the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) explains the potential impact of this action by India on Bangladesh. According to the report, India's decision to ban Bangladeshi imports via land ports could affect goods worth $770 million (approximately 9,367 crore Bangladeshi Taka), which accounts for about 42% of the total bilateral imports.

SIS, GIPE trades charges again as they fight over funds, bank account
The strained relations between the Servants of India Society (SIS) and its institute Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics (GIPE) is once again out in the open with both the bodies trading charges of wrongdoing against each other. While addressing the media in Pune on Thursday, Vishal Gaikwad, officiating deputy registrar of GIPE accused the SIS of freezing the bank accounts of the institute. On his part Damodar Sahoo, chairman of SIS, claimed that GPIE had unilaterally converted the jointly held bank account of the institute to a single-operated one which had prompted SIS to write the bank. Gaikwad said, as per University Grants Commission (UGC) norms, the sponsoring society does not have rights over the bank accounts of the institute. 'We learnt from the banks that our accounts were frozen. We managed to get them unfrozen but this is a gross violation of rules,' he claimed. Gaikwad said they have written to the Deccan Police to include the name of Sahoo in the ongoing case of allegedly fraudulently transferring Rs 1.42 crores from GIPE for the use of SIS. 'We have also written to the charity commissioner asking for the present board of SIS to be dismissed and appointment of a neural observer in its place,' he said. Relations between SIS and GIPE have soured since the last year with both the bodies trading charges against each other. GIPEs chancellor Sanjeev Sanyal had made serious allegations against Sahoo and others of misappropriating funds. Sanyal was swiftly removed from his position by Sahoo but was reinstated. Milind Deshmukh, the secretary of the SIS was arrested by the Deccan Police for his role in the multi-crore corruption scandal that had rocked the institute. Deshmukh was later removed from his position and is out on bail now. Sahoo on his part claimed that GIPE had unilaterally deviated from the convention of jointly operated accounts which had prompted the SIS to write to the bank. 'The GPIE had not intimated of the conversion of the account to single operated,' he said. Asked about the formation of an advisory committee which Gaikwad had termed as illegal, Sahoo said the committee was for better coordination between both the bodies.
