The Indian foreign ministry has summoned Bangladesh High Commissioner to India, Riaz Hamidullah, today and apprised him of its strong concerns at the "deteriorating security environment" in Bangladesh.
It has drawn particular attention to the activities of some "extremist elements" who have announced plans to create a security situation around the Indian High Commission in Dhaka, according to a statement of the ministry issued after the summons.
"India completely rejects the false narrative sought to be created by extremist elements regarding certain recent events in Bangladesh.
"It is unfortunate that the interim government has neither conducted a thorough investigation nor shared meaningful evidence with India regarding the incidents."
The statement said India has close and friendly relations with the people of Bangladesh rooted in the liberation struggle, and strengthened through various developmental and people-to-people initiatives.
"We are in favour of peace and stability in Bangladesh and have consistently called for free, fair, inclusive and credible elections, conducted in a peaceful atmosphere."
The statement further said India expects the interim government to ensure the safety of missions and posts in Bangladesh in keeping with its diplomatic obligations.
