Bangladeshi civic alliance July Unity has strongly criticized India’s Ministry of External Affairs for describing its recent movement as an ‘extremist group activity’. At a press conference at Dhaka University’s Madhur Canteen, organizer and DUCSU Social Welfare Secretary A.B. Zubair said the Indian statement reflects political and moral bankruptcy and violates diplomatic norms. The group argued that its campaign was peaceful and democratic, aimed at defending Bangladesh’s sovereignty.

July Unity accused India of sheltering individuals allegedly responsible for atrocities in Bangladesh and failing to act against Hindu extremists involved in an attack on the Bangladeshi Assistant High Commission in Agartala. The organization urged Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry to summon the Indian envoy and declare him persona non grata under Article 9 of the Vienna Convention. It also announced nationwide protests and a march to the Foreign Ministry if no action is taken within 72 hours.

Analysts note that the dispute underscores rising diplomatic friction between Dhaka and New Delhi amid heightened nationalist rhetoric and regional political sensitivities.
