Bangladesh summons Indian envoy amid protests over Hindu monk arrest



The comments by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) came hours after the protesters reportedly barged into the assistant high commission of Bangladesh and allegedly resorted to vandalism.The envoy described the relationship as multifaceted and wide-ranging, which could not sit with one issue or agenda and India is interested to work with Bangladesh government to fulfill the two countries shared aspiration for peace, security and development.Verma also said there are many interdependencies and Delhi is keen to build on that for mutual benefits.Earlier in the day, terming the vandalism at Bangladesh’s diplomatic mission in Agartala as India’s failure, Law Affairs Adviser in the interim government Asif Nazrul asked New Delhi to reassess its neighbour afresh after the toppling of the Sheikh Hasina regime.”We believe in a friendship based on equality and mutual respect.While Sheikh Hasina’s government followed a pro-India policy to cling to power without elections, India must realise that this is not Sheikh Hasina’s Bangladesh,”he wrote in a Facebook post.
