It was our duty as a neighbour to accept the reality of life, because situations are such where at times you are not prepared for it,&#8221; said Trivedi, who was appointed high commissioner in April this year.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>&#8220;What was our choice? If you had said that no, we are not going to accept, we don&#8217;t give landing permission. Things would have been I don&#8217;t know what,&#8221; Trivedi said, adding, &#8220;Indian authorities were not prepared for the situation.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The situation unfolded because of &#8220;tragic circumstances&#8221; in Bangladesh at that time, he said, and stressed, &#8220;Hasina was not brought to India by the Indian air force or army.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>On Hasina&#8217;s extradition, Trivedi said that &#8220;again and again, the Indian government has replied to this that there is a process, and the process is legal, and it is well structured. So, as far as that is concerned, the process is on.&#8221; He said the courts are involved in the matter and therefore &#8220;nobody can give you a timeframe.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Trivedi underscored that India&#8217;s relationship with Bangladesh does not depend on Dhaka&#8217;s relations with other countries. He stressed that both countries have the right to protect their respective national interests.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Trivedi highlighted the need for continuous dialogue, mutual respect and trust between Bangladesh and India to address bilateral issues, saying every issue between the two neighbours has a solution. He acknowledged that the process of engagement between the countries may be slow, but it has not stopped. &#8220;I can guarantee you, there is no stoppage of the process. The process is ongoing,&#8221; Trivedi said.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
