The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday (December 20, 2024) lodged a strong protest with the interim government of Bangladesh. India issued a warning on the controversial post made by Mahfooz Alam, a key aide of the Bangladesh government. Considering these statements as irresponsible and serious, India has made its stand clear to Dhaka.
Randhir Jaiswal said in a press conference "We have lodged our strong protest with the Bangladesh side on this issue. We understand that the post in question has reportedly been removed. We would like to remind all concerned to be mindful of their public comments. While India has repeatedly tried to promote relations with the people and interim government of Bangladesh, such comments could affect relations between the two countries."
Mahfooz Alam’s statement and controversy
According to PTI report, Mahfooz Alam, in a Facebook post, had urged India to recognize the Bangladesh insurgency that forced Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign. In this post, Alam commented on India regarding the fall of Hasina’s government, which was later removed.
India’s concern over the security of minorities in Bangladesh
Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh stressed the need to ensure the security of Hindus and other minority communities in Bangladesh in the Rajya Sabha. Said that India’s concerns regarding ensuring the safety of minority communities have been conveyed and reiterated to officials of the Interim Government of Bangladesh on various occasions, including at the highest level.
Resignation of Sheikh Hasina
There was a big turning point in the politics of Bangladesh in August 2024, when Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had to resign due to increasing protests and deteriorating security situation in the capital Dhaka. There were massive violent protests in Bangladesh against reservation in government jobs, due to which the law and order situation deteriorated. The protests threatened Sheikh Hasina’s security in the capital Dhaka. The situation became so serious that Hasina had to leave the country in a military plane in August 2024.
