India on Friday strongly objected to the controversial post of Mahfuz Alam, an advisor to the head of the interim government in Bangladesh, Mohammad Yunus. Mahfuz had posted a controversial post on December 16. In this, some parts of Bengal, Tripura and Assam of India were shown in Bangladesh.

On this matter, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a press briefing- We have come to know that the post has been removed, but we still want to remind them to be cautious about public comments. Such comments show that you need to be more responsible while making public comments.

Spokesperson Jaiswal also said that India has repeatedly shown interest in promoting relations with the people of Bangladesh and the interim government. But such comments can affect the relations between the two countries.
The Ministry of External Affairs also revealed that after the departure of Sheikh Hasina's government in the year 2024, 2,200 cases of violence against Hindus have been reported in Bangladesh.

Regarding the incidents of violence in Bangladesh, spokesperson Jaiswal said that the Government of India has taken these incidents seriously and has expressed its concerns with the Government of Bangladesh. India hopes that the Government of Bangladesh will take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of Hindus and other minorities.

Earlier, Mahfuz Alam had said in a controversial post that India should recognise the rebellion that forced the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign.

Mahfuz also said that to make Bangladesh independent from dependence on India, 2024 had to happen after 1975. There is a gap of fifty years between the two events, but in reality nothing has changed.

Since the coup of Sheikh Hasina, provocative statements are being made by Bangladeshi leaders. A few days ago, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader Ruhul Kabir Rizvi had said that if India asks for Chittagong, we will take back Bengal, Bihar and Odisha.

In response to this, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had said, what do you think, if you try to occupy our land, we will keep eating lollipops?

While addressing the West Bengal Assembly, Mamata appealed to the people not to be disturbed by the statements being made in Bangladesh. She assured the people that West Bengal will always support the decision of the Center. Mamata asked the people to stay calm, stay healthy and maintain peace of mind.
