The visiting Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has highlighted how her country has been impacted after New Delhi banned the export of onions globally.
Speaking at a business event, PM Hasina speaking in Hindi said, "Pyaaz ley key dikat ho gaya hamaraey liye. Mujhe malum ni kyn apney pyaz band kar diya. Thoda notice dene se hum dusre jagah se laa sakte the. Achanka apney band kar diya aur hamrey liye ye mushik ban gaya. Aagey... se thoda sa pehle bata dena."
(There is discomfort regarding onion since you have banned the export of onion. You should have given notice so that we can get onion from some other place. You suddenly stopped onion export and it caused a lot of problem to us. Next time tell us in advance)
She jokingly said she has even asked her cook not to put onion in her food.
