India summons Bangladesh envoy over security concerns

ndia has lodged a strong protest against what it has called the "deteriorating security situation" around its mission in Dhaka.

On Wednesday, India's foreign ministry summoned Bangladeshi envoy Riaz Hamidullah to convey its concerns about the actions of some "extremist elements", the ministry said in a statement.

"We expect the interim government to ensure the safety of [Indian] missions and posts in Bangladesh in keeping with its diplomatic obligations," it added.

The move comes after protesters in Bangladesh began a march to the Indian high commission, seeking repatriation of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been in exile in India since student-led protests ousted her last year.
