Diplomatic Desk

Interim Government Chief Advisor Dr. Yunus’s Press Secretary, Shafiqul Alam, on Thursday urged India to ensure the “complete security” of its minority Muslim population. In response, Indian Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal has issued a statement.

In a message on Friday, April 18, Randhir Jaiswal stated, “We reject Bangladesh’s comments on the incidents in West Bengal.”

Jaiswal noted that his country is taking appropriate measures against minority persecution.

Addressing Shafiqul Alam’s remarks, Jaiswal said, “Instead of making such baseless comments, it would be better for Bangladesh to focus on protecting the rights of its own minorities.”

It is worth noting that Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam had made proactive comments regarding the communal violence in Murshidabad, West Bengal.

He stated, “We call on the Indian government and the West Bengal government to take all necessary measures to ensure the full security of the minority Muslim community.”

In response, Randhir Jaiswal expressed discontent and issued a strong statement today.
