Dhaka: Bangladesh has expressed outrage over deposed former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's live interaction with the media in New Delhi on Wednesday, accusing her of launching a "venomous vitriol" against Bangladesh and its people.
In a press statement released on Wednesday (local time), Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, "Bangladesh is outraged that the absconding convicted genocider Sheikh Hasina was allowed this evening to engage in live interaction with the media in New Delhi where she and her henchmen launched venomous vitriol against the State of Bangladesh and her people."
"Dhaka deeply regrets that in spite of concerns conveyed a priori to the Government of India about the likely ramifications of this event on the reset of our bilateral relations, this public event was permitted to be held," the statement added.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry said that on a day when the people of Bangladesh are observing the second anniversary of the July Revolution, this interaction by Sheikh Hasina "on the Indian soil stands as an affront to the sovereignty of Bangladesh," and a grievous insult to the "martyrs of the July Revolution."
"The denial of facts established by the United Nations, including gruesome killing of the innocent civilians including minor children during July-August 2024 by the fascist regime, stands as a futile attempt by the absconding convicted mass murderer Hasina and her criminal cohort to reverse the tide of history. The people of Bangladesh had already rejected such heinous attempts in the past and continue to do so now," the Ministry said.
