Bangladesh's Muhammad Yunus sparked outrage by suggesting China expand its influence in India's northeastern states, calling Bangladesh the "only guardian of the ocean" for the region. Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma condemned Yunus's remarks, labeling them provocative and unacceptable. Tipra Motha chief Pradyot Manikya demanded a more aggressive stance from India, even suggesting a split with Bangladesh. Congress leader Pawan Khera also criticized the government's failure to secure the Northeast against growing Chinese influence. Yunus's comments signal Bangladesh's shift toward China amid strained ties with India, raising security concerns. (PC: AFP)
