The interim government has strongly protested against India's attempt to involve Bangladesh in the communal violence in Murshidabad, West Bengal. It has also called for ensuring 'complete security' for the country's minority Muslims. BSS reported.
Press Secretary to the Chief Adviser Shafiqul Alam conveyed the interim government's position to BSS on Thursday. He said, "We strongly reject any attempt to involve Bangladesh in the communal violence in Murshidabad."
Shafiqul Alam said the Bangladesh government condemns the attack on Muslims and the loss of their lives and property. He said, "We urge the Indian government and the West Bengal government to take all necessary steps to ensure complete security of the minority Muslim community."
According to various Indian media reports, violence broke out in Muslim-dominated Murshidabad district last week during protests against the new Waqf law. The protests spread to Malda, Murshidabad, South 24 Parganas and Hooghly districts. Incidents of arson, brick-throwing, and road blockades occurred in these areas.
