No breach attempt at BD HC during protest: India
About demonstration in front of the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi on December 20, official spokesperson at the Indian Ministry of External Affairs Randhir Jaiswal on Sunday said there was no attempt to breach the fence or create a security situation at any time.
India is committed to ensure the safety of foreign missions/posts in its territory in accordance with the Vienna Convention, Jaiswal said in response to media queries in New Delhi regarding the demonstration.
He said the police stationed at the spot dispersed the group after a few minutes.
Jaiswal said visual evidence of these events is available for all to see.
"India continues to keep a close watch on the evolving situation in Bangladesh," he said, adding that their officials remain in touch with Bangladesh authorities and have conveyed to them their strong concerns over the attacks on the minorities.
Jaiswal said they have noted misleading propaganda in sections of Bangladesh media on the incident.
"The fact is that about 20-25 youth gathered in front of the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi on December 20 and raised slogans in protest against the horrendous killing of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh, while also calling for the protection of all minorities in Bangladesh," he said.
Jiswal said they have also urged that the perpetrators of the barbaric killing of Das be brought to justice, reports UNB.
