BNP leader’s statement on India-Bangladesh relations

Sheikh Hasina resigned and went to India on August 5 after a massive movement against her government. A senior BNP leader has targeted former diplomats, bureaucrats, leaders and institutions and alleged that they are misleading India to believe that India-Bangladesh relations will deteriorate without the Sheikh Hasina-led government.

Days after India expressed concern over the safety of minorities in Bangladesh, Amir Khusro Mahmud Chowdhury, leader of the Khaleda Zia-led Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), said it was an internal matter of the country. At a time when violent protests were taking place in the neighbouring country, there were several reports of attacks on Hindus there.
