NEW DELHI: Bangladesh on Thursday lodged a protest with India’s acting envoy saying that “false and fabricated comments” by deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina are a “hostile act” against Dhaka, a day after she delivered a virtual address to her supporters from exile in India.
The foreign ministry here asked India “to immediately take appropriate measures, in the spirit of mutual respect and understanding,” an official statement read. India later voiced anguish over destruction of the historic residence and said the “act of vandalism” should be strongly condemned.
