First the objectionable map of India was handed over to Pakistan, now it has given clarification, know what the Bangladeshi government of Mohammad Yunus said?

The interim government led by Mohammad Yunus in Bangladesh on Monday issued a clarification on reports which claimed that Yunus had presented a map to a Pakistani military officer which showed the north-eastern areas of India as part of Bangladesh. The government described these reports as completely false, misleading and fabricated.

According to the statement issued by the government, Yunus had presented a book titled ‘The Art of Triumph’ to General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee of Pakistan. This is not a political or geographical document, but a compilation of graffiti art created by students in Dhaka and other cities during the July Uprising. In this book, a glimpse of Bangladesh’s civil movement, struggles and sacrifices of martyred students has been presented through colorful artworks.

Claim of showing part of India as part of Bangladesh is imaginary

The statement clarified that on the cover of the book, an artistic map of Bangladesh has been depicted in red color behind the picture of Shaheed Abu Syed. The government said that this is a map based on artistic graffiti, so slight differences in the outline of its boundaries are natural. But the claim of showing the north-eastern part of India as part of Bangladesh in this map is completely baseless and imaginary.

What else was said in the government statement?

The government statement further said that when the map in the book was compared with the official land map of Bangladesh, it was found that there was no major difference between the two. The government has appealed to the public not to believe false and misleading news, as such rumors are being spread to harm the image of the country.

Along with this statement, the government also indicated that legal action can be taken against those spreading such misinformation, so that an atmosphere of peace and harmony is maintained in the country.
