When a caretaker government was formed in Bangladesh in 2008 with the support of the army, Pranab Mukherjee was India's foreign minister.
In February 2006, Army Chief General Moin U Ahmed visited India. Then Moin U Ahmed had a meeting with Pranab Mukherjee.
In his book 'The Coalition Years', Pranab Mukherjee wrote that at that meeting, the Bangladesh Army chief asked him for a job guarantee.
He wrote that in an informal discussion between the two, Pranab Mukherjee had asked Moin U Ahmed to release imprisoned Awami League leader Sheikh Hasina and BNP leader Khaleda Zia.
According to Pranab Mukherjee, Moin U Ahmed feared that if Sheikh Hasina came to power, she would be fired.
But Pranab Mukherjee personally took charge of Moin U Ahmed's job.
Mr. Murkhaji assured the Bangladesh army chief that even if Sheikh Hasina came to power, she would have no problem.
