Dhaka Sunday rejected concerns raised by India over the treatment of minorities in Bangladesh, calling it an “inaccurate, exaggerated, or motivated narrative” that does not reflect the facts.

India's Ministry of External Affairs Friday said the "unremitting hostilities” against minorities in Bangladesh are a matter of "grave concern". It demanded punishment for the perpetrators involved in the lynching of a Hindu youth in the Mymensingh area last week.

“The unremitting hostilities against the minorities in Bangladesh, including Hindus, Christians and Buddhists, at the hands of extremists is a matter of grave concern,"External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had said.
