Bangladesh has firmly rejected India's explanation concerning a protest by 'Hindu extremists' outside its high commission in New Delhi. The protest raised security concerns as demonstrators appeared in a diplomatic enclave reportedly to denounce the killing of a Hindu man, Dipu Chandra Das, lynched in Mymensingh.
India's Ministry of External Affairs labeled the reports from Bangladesh media as 'misleading propaganda' while confirming that around 20-25 youths participated in the protest to demand protection for minority communities in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh's response, as expressed by state's foreign affairs adviser M Touhid Hossain, includes a rejection of India's press note, questioning how protesters reached a secured area. Despite current diplomatic dialogues, Bangladesh hints at possible diplomatic realignment should security issues persist.
