Published: Apr 02 2025, 8 ameznews.inComments by Bangladeshi leader Mohd Yunus, describing the seven northeastern Indian states as "an extension of the Chinese economy" and suggesting that Beijing could take control, have sparked outrage among Indian politicians. Pradyot Manikya, founder of the Tipra Motha party in Tripura, responded by proposing that India should consider annexing parts of Bangladesh, particularly the Chittagong Hill Tracts, which he claims have historically desired to join India.
