Law adviser Asif Nazrul has said that India鈥檚 double standard is both condemnable and objectionable.
Asif Nazrul made the remark in a post on his verified Facebook page on Friday.
The post says that India鈥檚 unwarranted concern for Bangladesh continues. But on India鈥檚 own soil numerous incidents of atrocities are perpetrated against the Muslim minority. The country is neither mortified nor remorseful about it. This double standard of India is both condemnable and objectionable.
鈥楳ost people in Bangladesh [64.1 per cent] believe that the interim government is providing more security to the country鈥檚 minority community than the previous Awami League government,鈥� he said, adding that this was revealed in a Voice of America Bangla survey published on Thursday.
鈥榃e have also seen for ourselves how the people of Bangladesh, including student organisations, madrassahs and political parties, worked for the security of minorities during the recent Durga Puja,鈥� he said.
鈥楳ost recently, after the brutal and provocative killing of lawyer Saiful Islam in Chattogram, Muslims in Bangladesh have shown immense restraint and patience,鈥� he added.
He said that even then, India鈥檚 unwanted concern over the situation in Bangladesh had not stopped.
鈥楴umerous atrocities against the minority Muslim community continue to occur on India's own soil. Yet they have no mortification or remorse about it,鈥� he said.
On November 26, lawyer Saiful was hacked to death amid clashes among law enforcers, agitated protesters, and supporters of Chinmoy Krishna Das on a Chattogram court premises following the denial of his bail petition in a sedition case.
