Bangladesh lodges protest: Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs lodged a strong protest with New Delhi over deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s “activities” in India. Dhaka has alleged Hasina of making “false and fabricated statements” during her stay in India, the foreign ministry said. The latest protest from Dhaka comes after Hasina delivered a speech via social media on Wednesday night, in which she urged the countrymen to organise a resistance against the current regime.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement said that it lodged a “strong protest with the Government of India over the false, fabricated comments and statements continuously being made on different platforms, including social media, by the former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, instigating instability in Bangladesh.”
Bangladesh’s protest was handed over to the Acting High Commissioner of India in Dhaka. As the statements issued by Hasina are “hurting the sentiments” of the people in the country, Dhaka, in its protest, is reported to have conveyed its “deep concern, disappointment, and serious reservation.”
The ministry also underscored that Hasina’s activities are considered to be “hostile acts towards Bangladesh and are not conducive to the efforts at establishing a healthy relationship between the two countries.”
Ousted Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina has been living in India since August 5 last year, when she fled Bangladesh following a massive student-led protest that toppled her Awami League’s 16-year regime.
