Bangladesh has urged India to take immediate steps to ensure that no anti-Bangladesh activity is undertaken by any Bangladeshi national on the Indian soil.
In a statement, the foreign ministry of Bangladesh today urged the Indian government not to permit or support any such activities in any manner and an immediate closure of the political office(s) of the “banned Bangladesh Awami League” on the Indian soil.
The foreign ministry said attention of the Bangladesh government has been drawn to the reported establishment of offices of Awami League in Delhi and Kolkata.
“Many of the senior leaders of the party, absconding in several criminal cases in Bangladesh on account of grievous crimes committed against humanity, remain in the Indian territory,” it said.
Earlier, on July 21, 2025, pretending to be an NGO, some senior AL leaders planned a public outreach at the Delhi Press Club and eventually distributed booklets among the attending members of the press, the foreign ministry statement said.To date, several reports in Indian media affirm increasing activities of the party on the Indian soil.
“Any form of political activity campaigning against the interests of Bangladesh by Bangladeshi nationals, particularly by the absconding leaders/activists of a banned political party, staying on Indian soil, legally or illegally, including the establishment of offices is an unambiguous affront against the people and State of Bangladesh,” the statement said.
