India to withdraw diplomats’ families from Bangladesh,

Meanwhile, India will withdraw its diplomats’ families and dependents from Bangladesh in the face of security threats as tension rises ahead of a February 12 general election.
Campaigning begins on Thursday for Bangladesh’s election, which has sparked protests and counter-protests.
Ties between the South Asian neighbours soured after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled to India in 2024, ⁠following deadly protests.
India’s withdrawal move was part of “internal readjustments”.
It was not immediately clear ⁠when the families would return.
The foreign ministries of India and Bangladesh did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
