India Summons Bangladesh Envoy Over Security Threats
India called the Bangladesh ambassador to discuss some serious problems.
Some people in Bangladesh have been saying mean things about India and even threatened the Indian embassy.
India is worried about its people and buildings in Bangladesh.
A leader from a new political party in Bangladesh said they might help groups that want to separate India's northeastern states.
India said this is not okay and asked Bangladesh to make sure everything is safe.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh's ambassador said his country wants to be friends with India and work together for peace and prosperity.
India summoned Bangladesh High Commissioner M Riaz Hamidullah over security threats to the Indian High Commission in Dhaka.
The move follows inflammatory remarks by Hasnat Abdullah, a leader of Bangladesh's National Citizen Party (NCP).
Abdullah threatened to shelter separatist groups and potentially sever India's northeastern states, known as the 'Seven Sisters'.
India issued a formal diplomatic protest (demarche) and expressed serious concern over the security of its diplomatic mission.
Bangladesh's High Commissioner emphasized the commitment to prosperity, peace, and regional security in the relationship with India.
