Bangladesh has called on India to shut down all political offices of the Awami League operating in the country. According to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, several Awami League leaders, convicted of crimes against humanity and facing criminal cases in Bangladesh, remain in India. The statement noted that some of these leaders attempted to hold a meeting under an NGO banner at the Delhi Press Club on July 21, distributing pamphlets to attending journalists. Indian media have also reported on this incident. The Bangladesh government described such activities by leaders of a banned political party as a clear affront to the Bangladeshi people and state. It stressed that these actions not only undermine mutual trust and respect between the two countries but could also negatively impact Bangladesh’s ongoing political transformation process. Additionally, political activity by Bangladeshi citizens based in India could provoke public resentment back home, potentially affecting Dhaka–New Delhi relations.
