CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has firmly rejected Bangladesh's allegations linking New Delhi to the recent virtual press conference of former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal clarified that the event was organised by a private organisation and that the Government of India had no involvement whatsoever in hosting or facilitating the programme. He also stressed that India does not endorse any views or statements made during the interaction. The clarification came after Bangladesh raised concerns over Hasina's media address and sought an explanation from India regarding the use of Indian territory for the event.
The MEA reiterated that India's position remains consistent and that it respects the sovereignty of neighbouring countries while refraining from interfering in their internal political affairs. Officials emphasized that the government's role should not be linked to activities organised independently by private entities. The diplomatic exchange comes amid heightened political tensions between Dhaka and supporters of Sheikh Hasina following her first public media interaction since leaving office.
The development has attracted significant regional attention, with observers closely monitoring its impact on India-Bangladesh diplomatic relations. Despite the controversy, New Delhi has maintained that its official stance remains unchanged and is committed to preserving constructive bilateral ties with Bangladesh while distancing itself from any political statements made at privately organised events.
