Foreign Advisor Touhid Hossain has rejected reports by Indian media that Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based international terrorist group, is planning attacks on India using Bangladeshi territory. He added that “no sensible person” would accept the report, describing it as an attempt to shift blame onto Bangladesh. The Times of India report, based on so-called intelligence sources, claimed that Lashkar-e-Taiba chief Hafiz Saeed was preparing Bangladesh as a new launchpad for attacks on India. According to the report, Saifullah claimed that LeT operatives were active in Bangladesh and ready to act against India in retaliation for “Operation Sindoor”. The letter urged the UNDP to reassess its electoral role to ensure its support does not marginalise or persecute any group.
