Dhaka summons Indian envoy over Hasina's media access
The Indian diplomat was asked to convey Bangladesh's request to discontinue Hasina's access to the media immediately
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs today (12 November) summoned Indian Deputy High Commissioner in Dhaka, Pawan Badhe, to formally convey Bangladesh's serious concern over the Indian government allowing the absconding former premier, Sheikh Hasina, to interact with mainstream Indian media, a high-level diplomatic source told BSS this evening.
The ministry reportedly conveyed that harbouring such a notorious fugitive — currently under trial for crimes against humanity — and granting her a platform to spread hatred and incite terrorist acts inside Bangladesh are not conducive to fostering a constructive bilateral relationship between the two countries.
The Indian diplomat was asked to convey to New Delhi Bangladesh's request to discontinue Hasina's access to the media immediately, the source added.
