Meanwhile, India on Friday rejected the comments of the Bangladeshi officials on violence in West Bengal and asked Dhaka to focus on protecting the rights of its minorities rather than indulging in “virtuous demonstrations”. Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said, “We dismiss the comments made by Bangladesh regarding the events of West Bengal. He said,” This is a hidden and fraudulent effort to compare India’s concerns on the atrocities on minorities in Bangladesh, where criminals of such acts are opening openly. “
