‘Disingenuous attempt’: Delhi responds to Dhaka’s call for protection of Indian Muslims

India on Friday hit back at Bangladesh after the Press Secretary of Chief Advisor Prof Mohammed Yunus called upon India to protect rights of minority Muslim population and refuted allegations of involvement of citizens of Bangladesh in the anti-Waqf Act violence in West Bengal’s Murshidabad. A statement from the Ministry of External Affairs further raised the issue of protection of minority communities in Bangladesh.

“This is a barely disguised and disingenuous attempt to draw a parallel with India’s concerns over the ongoing persecuition of minorities in Bangladesh where the criminal perpetrators of such acts continue to roam free. Instead of making unwarranted comments and indulging in virtue signaling, Bangladesh would do better to focus on protecting the rights of its own minorities,” stated the Ministry of External Affairs.

On Thursday, Shafiqul Alam, the Press Secretary to Prof Yunus had refuted allegations from the Indian side about the involvement of Bangladeshi citizens in the violence in Murshidabad that flared up over the Waqf (Amendment) Act 2025. “We condemn attacks on Muslims causing loss of lives and properties. We urge the Government of India and West Bengal to take all steps to fully protect the minority Muslim population,” said Mr. Alam in a statement that was posted on his social media handles. Mr. Alam, a former journalist is among the top officials of the Yunus administration and his remarks in recent weeks have often hit the headlines.
