The Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Pranay Verma today in response to escalating tensions surrounding the ongoing fencing along the India-Bangladesh border.
Earlier in the day, Home Affairs Adviser Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said that India had been compelled to halt the construction of the barbed wire fence along the border. This move followed strong opposition from the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and local residents.
At a press conference discussing the Bangladesh-India border situation, Jahangir said, "Due to some unequal agreements signed during the previous government's tenure, several issues have arisen along the Bangladesh-India border."
He further said, "However, the efforts of our people and the BGB have forced India to stop certain activities, including the construction of barbed wire fences."
