Foreign Advisor Touhid Hossain has rejected India’s allegation that Bangladeshi media carried “misleading propaganda” linked to a protest held outside the Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi.
Responding to questions from journalists at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday afternoon, he alleged that protesters from a “Hindu extremist organisation” were allowed to reach the Bangladesh mission, which is located deep inside a diplomatic zone.
“We completely reject what has been said in the Indian press note,” Touhid said. “The issue is not as simple as it has been presented.
He questioned how a group of 25 or 30 people from an “extremist organisation” could gain access to such a highly “sanitised” zone.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has said the protesters raised slogans for a few minutes in protest against the brutal killing of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh before dispersing.
Referring to that claim, Touhid said the protesters did not limit themselves to slogans over that killing alone.
“They did not just stand there and raise slogans protesting the killing of that Hindu citizen and then leave. They said many other things as well, we are aware of that,” he said.
The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) said CCTV analysis revealed that a Honda Hornet, helmet and fake number plate were recovered on Dec 14 from Bonolata Residential Area, Agargaon, by the Counter Terrorism Unit. The Hornet’s real registration is Dhaka Metro La-54-6574, while a fake plate L-54-6376 was used during the shooting. Hannan’s Suzuki Gixxer bears registration L-54-6375.
Hadi was initially taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital in critical condition and later transferred to Evercare Hospital, where he was admitted to the ICU.
On Dec 15, he was flown to Singapore for advanced treatment, where he succumbed to his injuries on Thursday. His funeral was held at the South Plaza of parliament, and he was buried at the Nazrul Islam mausoleum.
A case was filed on Dec 14 by Abdullah Al Jaber, member secretary of Inqilab Moncho, naming Faisal Karim Masud and unidentified individuals as suspects.
