Event Summary

India and Bangladesh are engaged in a diplomatic dispute after Bangladesh's interim government summoned India's High Commissioner, Pranay Kumar Verma, to protest 'incendiary' remarks made by former prime minister Sheikh Hasina from Indian soil and the activities of Bangladesh — Awami League members in India. India, through its India — Ministry of External Affairs, categorically rejected these allegations, asserting that its territory has never been used for activities hostile to Bangladesh's interests. India also reiterated its support for free, fair, inclusive, and credible parliamentary elections in Bangladesh, scheduled for February 12. Sheikh Hasina, who fled Bangladesh last year amid protests and was subsequently sentenced to death in absentia for 'crimes against humanity', is currently residing in India. The Bangladesh — Awami League has rejected the upcoming elections, claiming the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus is biased.
