Why BCCI Should Not Meet ACC at Dhaka?

Pakistan-Bangladesh's Strengthened Ties: In the wake of Bangladesh’s long-serving Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ouster, India gave refuge to her. Seizing the opportunity, Pakistan developed a good diplomatic relation with Bangladesh and that is what should not be undermined by India. India, who have always been friendly neighbours with Bangladesh, were disappointed by the development. This is a good enough reason for the BCCI to boycott traveling to Dhaka for the ACC meet. 

Pakistan's Mohsin Naqvi is ACC Boss: A Pakistani minister surely cannot be calling the shots where India is involved. Mohsin Naqvi, who is a Pakistani minister, is also the President of ACC and that is exactly where the problem should lie with India. In national interest, one reckons India should not engage with Pakistan in any capacity, anywhere.
