BNP expressed deep concern over India’s remarks surrounding the arrest of former ISKCON leader Chinmoy Krishna Das and subsequent attacks on Bangladeshi diplomatic missions.

The party’s top policymaking body has sharply criticised India’s recent response, stating that such reactions amount to unwarranted interference in Bangladesh’s internal affairs, which is contrary to diplomatic norms.

During a meeting at the BNP chief’s Gulshan office on Monday, the standing committee discussed several issues, including Chinmoy’s arrest, the violent incidents that followed (resulting in the death of a lawyer), attacks on Bangladesh’s Assistant High Commission in Agartala and Deputy High Commission in Kolkata, and what they referred to as “controversial” remarks by India’s foreign ministry.
