Bangladesh on Sunday (December 21, 2025) “entirely” rejected India’s comments over “Hindu extremists” demonstration in front of its high commission in New Delhi, questioning how the protesters were allowed to come so close to the installation in a secured diplomatic enclave.

Interim government’s foreign affairs adviser M. Touhid Hossain's comments came hours after India trashed as “misleading propaganda” reports in Bangladesh media that a demonstration outside its mission in New Delhi against the killing of a Hindu man in Mymensingh attempted to create a security situation.

‘Misleading propaganda’, says Delhi after Dhaka reports cite ‘threat to life of Bangladesh envoy’

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said about 20-25 youths gathered in front of the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi on Saturday, raised slogans protesting the “horrendous killing” of Dipu Chandra Das, 25, who was lynched to death by a mob in Mymensingh on Thursday (December 18).

The protesters also called for the protection of all minorities in Bangladesh, the MEA said.
