Rizvi urges UN peacekeeping support for Agartala mission security
Staff Correspondent
BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Rizvi Ahmed has urged the interim government to seek assistance from United Nations peacekeeping forces to ensure the security of the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala.
“India's law enforcement agencies have failed to provide security to our High Commission. Officials and employees of the Bangladesh mission are feeling insecure,” Rizvi said during a press conference at the party's Nayapaltan office on Tuesday.
He further suggested that the interim government seek help from UN peacekeeping forces, citing the security concerns.
Rizvi also alleged that certain extremist religious groups, "instigated by India’s BJP," were attempting to destabilise Bangladesh.
Besides, Rizvi called on Indian leaders to focus on their internal affairs. "We urge Modi (Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi) and Mamata (West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee) to manage their own issues. Here in Bangladesh, all communities live in peace," he said.
"Bangladesh has no hostility toward India's general people," he added.
