Keep in keeping negative image of India
India said that despite this it is regrettable that India is depicted negatively in regular statements made by Bangladesh officials. In this, we are held responsible for internal governance issues. These statements of Bangladesh are actually responsible for continuous negativity.
The statement of the Ministry of External Affairs further stated that the comments made about former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have been made in his/her personal status. India has no role in this. Linking it with the attitude of the Government of India will not bring positivity in bilateral relations.
Do not spoil the atmosphere Bangladesh
The Ministry of External Affairs says while the Government of India will try to make a mutually beneficial relationship, we hope that Bangladesh will also make a similar effort without spoiling the atmosphere. According to a report by Reuters, Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry handed over a protest letter to the Acting High Commissioner of India in Dhaka, expressing ‘deep concern, disappointment and serious objections’ over Sheikh Hasina’s comments.
