Delhi, December 21: India is committed to ensure the safety of foreign Missions/Posts in its territory in accordance with the Vienna Convention, said Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Offical Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on Sunday.
In response to media queries on the reported demonstration in front of the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi on December 20, Jaiswal in a statement said that they have noted misleading propaganda in sections of the Bangladesh media on the incident.
"We have noted misleading propaganda in sections of the Bangladesh media on the incident. The fact is that about 20-25 youth gathered in front of the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi on 20 December and raised slogans in protest against the horrendous killing of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh, while also calling for the protection of all minorities in Bangladesh,” said Jaiswal.
“There was no attempt to breach the fence or create a security situation at any time. The police stationed at the spot dispersed the group after a few minutes. Visual evidence of these events is available publicly for all to see,” he said.
“India is committed to ensure the safety of foreign Missions/Posts in its territory in accordance with the Vienna Convention. India continues to keep a close watch on the evolving situation in Bangladesh. Our officials remain in touch with Bangladesh authorities and have conveyed to them our strong concerns at the attacks on minorities. We have also urged that the perpetrators of the barbaric killing of Das be brought to justice,” he added.
