Staff Correspondent

Delhi/Dhaka, 11 November 2025: Strongly condemning the horrific militant-terrorist attack in the Indian capital Delhi, Awami League President and former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said in a statement, “These extremist militant-terrorists strike at the core of a non-communal, humanitarian and welfare-oriented state system.”

Expressing deep sorrow in memory of the deceased, condolences to the bereaved families, and wishing a speedy recovery to the injured, he accused Pakistan-based militant groups of spreading their networks in regional countries including Bangladesh and destroying peace.

In a statement, Sheikh Hasina said, “The horrific terrorist attack that took place in the Indian capital Delhi is unacceptable in any way. There is no place for extremist terrorism in the modern world.”

He mentioned,

“This terrorist-militant group has ‘turned the Bangladesh state upside down’ and wants to disrupt regional peace and stability by spreading its network in various countries and attacking India. We must stop these terrorists and maintain peace and stability in South Asia by establishing people-to-people relations,”

Reiterating the Awami League’s full support to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the ideological fight against terrorism, Sheikh Hasina said, “We believe that in the current global civilization, there is no place and no forgiveness for such heinous crimes against humanity. Wherever the base of terrorism may be, it must be eradicated.”

He also expressed extreme hatred for those who support this militant group in various countries, including Bangladesh, by calling them “enemies of humanity.”

In the statement, he added, “We stand by the people of India and are committed to providing all-out support to India in this fight against terrorism. Our stand is firm against terrorism and militancy.”

He believes,

“Through the defeat of this terrorist-militant group, justice and human rights will be upheld and the world will become safer.”

At the end of the statement, Sheikh Hasina chanted the slogan: “Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu, let terrorism end, let humanity be liberated.”

After the statement was released, a spokesperson for the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said, “This support from the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh will give us strength. A united fight against terrorism in South Asia is essential.”

A spokesperson for the Bangladeshi interim government has not commented on the Delhi attack until last news was received.
