India rejected the misleading propaganda being spread by the Bangladeshi media regarding the protest in front of the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi and asserted that there was no security breach during the protest nor was there any threat to the diplomatic mission.
India’s External Affairs Minister said only a few protesters had gathered outside the High Commission for a short time to express outrage over the killing of Dipu Chandra Das in Bangladesh’s Mymensingh district and demand protection for minorities in the South Asian country.
What did Randhir Jaiswal tell?
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal refuted reports of an attempt to infiltrate the campus, saying, ‘We have seen misleading propaganda about this incident in some sections of the Bangladeshi media. The truth is that on December 20, about 20-25 youth gathered in front of the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi and raised slogans against the heinous murder of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh, and also demanded protection of all minorities in Bangladesh.
He further said, ‘At no time was any attempt made to break the fence or create a situation of insecurity. The police deployed at the spot dispersed the group within a few minutes. The visual evidence of these incidents is publicly available for all to see. He further said and emphasized that India is committed to the security of foreign diplomats and their missions in accordance with the Vienna Convention.
M Tauheed Hussain warned
Dhaka rejected India’s comments and claimed that how the protesters were allowed to come so close to the installation located in a secure diplomatic zone. In a statement, Bangladesh’s foreign affairs advisor M Tauheed Hossain warned that Dhaka would reduce its diplomatic presence in India if the situation worsens.
“With regard to the Indian press note, we completely reject it, absolutely reject it,” state news agency Bangladesh Sangabad Sangastha (BSS) quoted M Tauheed Hossain, foreign affairs adviser to the interim government, as saying at a media briefing on Sunday. This issue has been presented as if it is very simple, whereas in reality it is not so.
Bangladesh raised questions
He raised the question, ‘How can a group of 25 to 30 people, said to be related to a Hindu extremist organisation, reach such a sensitive area.’ He further said that under normal circumstances this should not have been possible unless he was allowed to go there. Regarding the statement of the Foreign Ministry, Hussain said that they say that there might have been 20-25 people, but this is not the issue.
