Ex Union Minister Dinesh Trivedi Appointed Bangladesh High Commissioner
Former Union minister Dinesh Trivedi has been appointed India's High Commissioner to Bangladesh. Known for his strong policy interventions, the former MP from West Bengal's Barrackpore joined the BJP in 2021 after leaving the Trinamool Congress.
He has served as railway minister, and minister of state for health and family welfare.
The appointment of a politician with long experience in governance and politics as India's High Commissioner to Bangladesh is a clear departure from the conventional postings that pick only Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officers, political analysts have said.
