The Director General of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Maj General Mohammad Ashrafuzzaman Siddiqui on Thursday denied reports of attacks on minorities in his country and termed them as "exaggerated" and asserted authorities have taken steps for their protection.

The BGB chief's remarks came while addressing a joint media briefing on the conclusion of the 55th Director General-level border coordination conference organised here between BGB and Border Security Force (BSF) from February 17-20.

Siddiqui said, "The news of attacks on minorities in the recent past in Bangladesh is an exaggeration. We provided security to puja pandals within 8 km of the international border during Durga Puja, which were held peacefully."
