Bangladesh said- India described the matter as light

Bangladesh Foreign Affairs Advisor M. Tauheed Hussain said on Sunday that India has made this incident more light than necessary.

He raised questions as to how a group of 25–30 people reached such a secure diplomatic area. He said that under normal circumstances this should not have been possible unless he was allowed to reach there.

Tauheed Hussain also said that the slogans raised in the demonstration were not limited only to protest against the murder, but other statements were also made. He claimed that the news published in Bangladeshi media was not misleading and was largely true.

Hasina said- Yunus encouraged anti-India people

Former Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina has made serious allegations against the head of the interim government Mohammad Yunus regarding the increasing anti-India atmosphere in the country. In an email interview with ANI, he said that this enmity is not the result of the common people but of the fundamentalist forces who have been encouraged by the Yunus government.

Sheikh Hasina said- Extremists are spreading this hatred. These are the people who marched to the Indian Embassy, ​​attacked media offices, attacked minorities and who forced me and my family to flee the country to save our lives.

He said that India’s concern about the security of its diplomats and embassies is absolutely right. Today Yunus has installed fundamentalist people in positions of power and has released convicted terrorists from jail.

Hasina said it is the job of a responsible government to protect embassies and take action against those who threaten them. But instead Yunus is giving exemption to such miscreants and calling them warriors.

Bangladeshi Hindu said – wearing Kalawa is called a foreign agent
