Bangladesh denied allegations by India that it had tortured minority communities, the state-run Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha news agency reported on Wednesday.
“It’s not true that torturing minorities is taking place in Bangladesh. Whoever gave them the information, it is incorrect,” the report quoted Bangladesh’s Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen as saying, following a meeting with the U.S. ambassador in Dhaka.
Touting longstanding religious harmony in Bangladesh, Momen claimed that his country “maintains strong religious harmony.”
Momen also warned India of weakening its historic character as a secular state through the proposed Citizenship Amendment Bill passed by the lower house of India’s bicameral parliament on Monday.
“India is historically a tolerant country which believes in secularism, and its historic position will be weakened if it deviates from that,” Momen said.
