ADVERTISEMENTIn a detailed statement, the MEA also rejected reports in sections of the Bangladesh media describing a protest outside the Bangladesh High Commission as violent, calling such claims “misleading propaganda”. The MEA said India remains in constant touch with the Bangladesh authorities as unrest spreads across the country. Security was heightened outside the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi as violence escalated in several parts of Bangladesh following the death of student activist Sharif Osman Hadi. The brutal killing sparked outrage in India and led to the brief protest outside the Bangladesh mission in the capital. India said it would continue to closely monitor developments in Bangladesh as tensions remain high, underlining that the safety of minorities and accountability for violence remain key concerns.
