A senior adviser of Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Sunday said that Dhaka wants "friendly relations" with New Delhi as he voiced concern over the killing of two Bangladeshi nationals along the border with India last week.
Two suspected Bangladeshi smugglers were shot dead by Border Security Force in Tripura's Sepahijala district on Friday night, and the bodies were handed over to their relatives through Kamalasagar BOP in the presence of BSF and Border Guards Bangladesh officials.
"We want friendly relations, but good ties cannot be maintained if the border is repeatedly turned bloody," PM's political adviser Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said on Sunday.

Rizvi mentioned the killing of two suspected smugglers during his address at the national convention of diploma engineers.
"Even yesterday, two people were shot dead at the Brahmanbaria border," he added. Rizvi, also ruling Bangladesh Nationalist Party's (BNP) senior joint secretary general, said that the people of India too did not want to see such a phenomenon.
In reference to recent state elections in India, the BNP leader said it was "entirely an internal matter" for the Indian people to decide.
PM Modi slams Congress over internal feud in Karnataka, Kerala; 'betrayal' against DMK in Tamil Nadu
"For the past three years in Karnataka, instead of resolving people's problems, most of the government's time here has been spent resolving internal conflicts. The Congress government remained gripped by uncertainty over leadership and power-sharing arrangements," the PM said while addressing a large gathering of BJP workers here.
Congress, CPI-M mock Mamata's appeal to form anti-BJP alliance after defeat
“I would like to ask all political parties, student-youth organisations and NGOs to form an alliance. We want to build a platform against the BJP,” said Mamata.
“Left, ultra-Left, any national party... wherever they are, let us form an alliance. Anybody can talk to me if they like. I will be in my office daily, from 4pm to 6pm. The BJP is our first enemy," she said.
Congress leader Soumya Aich Roy said Mamata should have remembered such things before sending Suvendu, then in her party, as her enforcer-in-chief to finish the Left and the Congress in their areas of strength across the state, by engineering defections in 2016-17.
“The proverbial cat climbs the tree only under duress,” he said. “She has never been sincere in fighting the RSS-BJP, and kept weakening INDIA at every opportunity.
She brought in and established the BJP in Bengal. Now that her own palace has been razed to the ground, she suddenly remembers us. We, Madam, are not in the habit of opportunistic flip-flops.”
CPI-M central committee Sujan Chakraborty, in a virtual echo, asked: “Does she have any credibility in this?”
Chief minister Suvendu Ahikari, when asked to respond to Mamata’s claims, said: “She is politically irrelevant. I do not wish to comment on the politically irrelevant.”
