New Delhi, Dec 26: India on Friday said the “unremitting hostilities” against minorities in Bangladesh is a matter of “grave concern” as it demanded punishment to the perpetrators involved in the lynching of a Hindu youth in Mymensingh area last week.
New Delhi also reacted cautiously to the return to Dhaka of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) acting chairman Tarique Rahman after 17 years, saying it should be seen in the context of India’s push for ensuring free, fair and inclusive parliamentary polls in that country.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India condemned the recent killing of Dipu Chandra Das and demanded action against those involved in the killing.
“The unremitting hostilities against the minorities in Bangladesh including Hindus, Christians and Buddhists at the hands of extremists is a matter of grave concern.” “We condemn the recent gruesome killing of a Hindu youth in Bangladesh and expect that the perpetrators of the crime would be brought to justice,” Jaiswal said at his weekly media briefing.
