India has summoned Bangladesh’s High Commissioner in New Delhi, Muhammad Riaz Hamidullah, to express concern over recent threats targeting the Indian High Commission in Dhaka and inflammatory remarks made by some Bangladeshi political figures. The move follows comments by National Citizen Party (NCP) leader Hasnat Abdullah during Bangladesh’s 55th Victory Day celebrations, where he reportedly made statements suggesting separation of India’s northeastern states.

According to Indian media outlet NDTV, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs conveyed its expectation that Bangladesh’s interim administration will take all necessary measures to maintain internal law and order and ensure a peaceful electoral process. The diplomatic démarche underscores India’s sensitivity to cross-border political rhetoric that could strain bilateral relations.

Analysts note that the timing of the summons, amid Bangladesh’s pre-election environment, adds a layer of complexity to Dhaka–Delhi ties. Observers expect both sides to seek de-escalation through diplomatic channels to prevent disruption of ongoing cooperation in trade, connectivity, and regional security.
