India’s Ministry of External Affairs, however, maintained that the situation was under control. Official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said there was no attempt to breach the fence or create a security situation at any time, and that police dispersed the group after a few minutes. “Visual evidence of these events is available for all to see,” he said, reiterating India’s commitment to safeguarding foreign missions. Jaiswal said around 20–25 youths gathered outside the Bangladesh High Commission on Saturday, raising slogans to protest the killing of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh and calling for the protection of minorities in Bangladesh. YTF president Suraj Debbarma said the protest was intended to convey a political message, while Tipra Motha supremo Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma said his party was the only political force in the Northeast to publicly protest outside the mission.
