The dispute centers on whether India should host or restrict Hasina's political activities, with Bangladesh opposing such activities and India's stance being questioned.

Beyond this political tension, the two countries share cultural ties as members of SAARC, BIMSTEC, IORA, and the Commonwealth, and maintain a long-standing cricket rivalry that has evolved since 2007.
