<h1>Bangladesh's 'Guardian of Ocean Access' Remark for Northeast India Sparks Diplomatic Tension</h1> The Assam Chief Minister criticized Bangladesh Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus's statement describing Northeast India as landlocked with Bangladesh as their 'guardian of ocean access.' The Chief Minister called these remarks offensive and condemnable, suggesting they reflect deeper strategic agendas. Yunus made these comments during a visit to China while urging Chinese economic influence in Bangladesh. The Chief Minister emphasized the vulnerability of India's 'Chicken's Neck' corridor-a narrow strip of land in West Bengal connecting Northeast India to the mainland-and called for developing alternative road and railway routes to bypass this strategic chokepoint despite engineering challenges.
