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. He argued that this move would provide northeastern states with direct access to the sea and improve conditions for the indigenous tribes living in Bangladesh. The controversy follows Yunus's remarks inviting China to leverage Bangladesh's strategic ports, which Indian officials, including Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, have condemned as offensive. The evolving geopolitical landscape raises concerns for India's Chicken's Neck Corridor, crucial for access to the northeast, amid fears of increased Chinese influence in the region.
