Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud objected to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's recent
remark offering “shelter” to people from Bangladesh amid ongoing protests there, according to Indian
media.
In a video doing the rounds on social media, Mahmud said Banerjee's statement created "confusion"
and that the Bangladesh government had sent a note to the Narendra Modi-led government on the
matter.
In a video shared widely on X, Hasan Mahmud could be heard saying, "With all due respect towards
Mamata Banerjee, we share a relationship of mutual interests. However, her this statement has created
confusion and has the potential to create confusion among people. Therefore, we have sent a note to
the Indian government on her statement."
