Bangladesh Lodges Strong Protest Against Home Minister Amit Shah's Remarks on Infiltrators

Bangladesh officially protested the "highly deplorable" comments made by Indian Home Minister Amit Shah during a rally in Jharkhand . The Bangladeshi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its "serious reservation, deep sense of hurt, and extreme displeasure" through a protest note delivered to the Indian deputy high commissioner in Dhaka on Monday. 

In his speech, Home Minister Amit Shah criticized the Jharkhand state government for allegedly "patronising" Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators, stating that they were marrying "our daughters," a situation he claimed would not be tolerated. 

He emphasized that the BJP 's politics is based on justice rather than caste, creed, or religion.

The Bangladeshi government has urged Indian political leaders to refrain from making such "objectionable and unacceptable" remarks, stressing the need for mutual respect and understanding between the neighboring countries.
