Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry has summoned Indian Deputy High Commissioner Pavan Badhe to protest India’s decision to allow former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who fled to New Delhi after being ousted in the July uprising, to speak to Indian media. Dhaka expressed deep concern, calling the move detrimental to bilateral relations. Officials conveyed that providing a platform to a fugitive accused of crimes against humanity to make anti-Bangladesh remarks and incite unrest was unacceptable. The ministry urged the Indian government to immediately stop Hasina’s media appearances, emphasizing that such actions could harm the constructive relationship between the two neighboring countries.
