Foreign Secretary Jashim Uddin told journalists after the Foreign Office Consultation with his Indian counterpart today that Dhaka has asked New Delhi not to interfere in Bangladesh’s internal affairs.
“We said people of all religions in Bangladesh freely practice their faiths. This is our internal affair. It is not expected [of other countries] to make comments on our internal affairs. We don’t do it for other countries,” he said.
India recently issued statements after the arrest and denial of bail of Hindu priest Chinmoy Krishna Das. There have been demonstrations in various parts of India and an attack on the Bangladesh mission in Agartala as well.
