Bangladesh lodged a protest with India's acting envoy over 'false and fabricated comments' by ex-prime minister Sheikh Hasina, calling it a hostile act. Her speech from India incited vandalism, including setting her father's house on fire.

Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has lodged a strong protest with the Indian Government over the ‘false and fabricated’ comments and statements being made by former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Bangladesh on Thursday formally protested to India over the activities of ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during her stay in the country, labeling them as provocative. Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain stated that the Indian Deputy High Commissioner was summoned in the absence of the High Commissioner and handed a protest note.

Bangladesh's interim government is completing six months into power this month after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted in August last year in a student-led mass uprising.

The development comes a day after Hasina's speech on Wednesday night in which she called upon the countrymen to organise a resistance against the current regime.

Bangladesh has lodged a strong protest against what it calls 'hostile acts' of Sheikh Hasina towards the country. Notably, this follows after protestors burnt Hasina's father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's house in Dhaka.

Thousands of protesters set fire to the home of Bangladesh's founding leader as his daughter, ousted former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, called on her supporters to stand against the interim government.
