The Bangladesh ministry of foreign affairs has pushed back against recent remarks by India on the situation of minorities in the country, calling the comments misleading and disconnected from facts on the ground. In a statement issued on Sunday, Dhaka said its attention had been drawn to the comments made by the Indian side, which it called “false, exaggerated and misleading”, reported Dhaka Tribune. ADVERTISEMENTBangladesh “categorically rejects any narrative that misrepresents the country’s long-standing tradition of communal harmony,” the statement said. “Portraying the incident as a minority-related issue was not only inaccurate but also misleading,” the statement said. Dhaka’s response came after India flagged what it called “unremitting hostilities” against minorities in Bangladesh.
