US EditionIndia Hits Back Strongly at Dhaka, Asserts ‘Never Allowed Territory for Activities Against Bangladesh's Interests'
- On December 14, India's Ministry of External Affairs firmly rejected assertions by Bangladesh's interim government that Indian territory was used against Bangladesh and reiterated support for peaceful, credible elections.
- Bangladesh summoned Indian High Commissioner to Dhaka Pranay Verma to convey concerns about former prime minister Sheikh Hasina's remarks and flagged Hasina-led Awami League members allegedly planning violence.
- The Awami League said, 'It is now clear that the current occupying authority is entirely biased,' and added that they reject the election process, amid Hasina's exile and her sentencing last month, asserting unfairness in Dhaka's legal system.
- Dhaka demanded extradition of Sheikh Hasina and Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and asked India to prevent suspects linked to Sharif Osman Hadi's attempted assassination from fleeing to Indian territory.
- The timing places the dispute ahead of Bangladesh parliamentary elections on February 12, as the interim government alleges Sheikh Hasina's remarks encourage violence, and India responded hours after summoning Indian High Commissioner Pranay Verma.
