US keen to work with India on fundamentalism in Bangladesh

UNB, Dhaka
After harmonising positions on Nepal, the US is keen to work with India on Bangladesh where it sees a 'general deterioration' in security and rise of fundamentalist elements.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice conveyed Washington's interest during talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during her first visit to India on Wednesday, a senior US embassy official in New Delhi said.
"There was an expression of interest in working together in Bangladesh," the official was quoted by Indo-Asian News Service as saying.
Asked about US concerns regarding Bangladesh, the official spoke about the "general deterioration in security" in that country.
"This is another area where we think the stability level of the region has deteriorated," he said. The official was referring to violence and "growing assertiveness by fundamentalist groups in that country".
Following is the detail report of the Indo-Asian News Service found on internet:
The official referred to the spiralling violence and the growing assertiveness by fundamentalist groups in that country and the way Dhaka has reacted to these concerns in the international community.
"This is another area where we think the stability-level of the region has deteriorated," he said.
The US proposal comes at a time when India-Bangladesh relations have been going through a rough patch over New Delhi's charge that Dhaka has allowed several Indian insurgent groups to set up bases in its territory to launch anti-lndia activities.
New Delhi had cited the security situation in Bangladesh as one of the reasons to keep away from the scheduled Saarc summit in Dhaka in early February.
Bangladesh denies the charge that it is harbouring Indian insurgent groups and says it is India that gives refuge to fugitives from the country.
Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, in a speech in parliament this week, said that allegations of Bangladesh harbouring extremists and al-Qaeda terrorists were nothing but a conspiracy against her government.
"These are nothing but conspiracies against the government of the four-party coalition," Khaleda Zia said.
She criticised the observations of some foreigners - foreign diplomats and members of donor agencies -on the situation in Bangladesh and said: "Stop interfering in the internal affairs of our country."
Rice, in her press interaction here Wednesday, spoke glowingly about the "outstanding cooperation" between the US and India to meet the "challenge to democracy in Nepal" and referred to how the ambassadors of the two countries in Kathmandu have been trying to get the kingdom back to multiparty democracy.
"I think it shows that India and the US have regional responsibilities, also increasingly global responsibilities," she said.
She also referred to India's quick response to the tsunami disaster and described the mobilisation of its air force and navy to help the countries of the region as "extraordinary."
"That was extraordinary, that shows India's potential is very great to help resolve humanitarian and other needs for itself and the world," she said.
