'We Categorically Reject These False and Baseless Allegations," Says MEA on Bangladesh Home Advisor's Remarks

Overview

  • MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India "categorically" rejects Dhaka’s accusation as "false and baseless."
  • He urged Bangladesh to introspect and investigate actions by local extremists accused of violence, arson and land grabs targeting minority communities.
  • Bangladesh’s Home Affairs Adviser Jahangir Alam Chowdhury had sought to link the unrest to India and to supporters of deposed leader Sheikh Hasina, offering no evidence.
  • The clashes followed protests over an alleged gang rape, leaving at least three people dead and dozens injured, with 13 army personnel and three police also hurt as Section 144 remains in force.
  • Local media reported the three victims were tribal residents killed in Guimara, south of Khagrachhari town, as bilateral ties remain strained since Sheikh Hasina’s ouster in 2024.
