DHAKA: Days after BJP wins in Assam and West Bengal polls, allies of Jamaat-e-Islami - Bangladesh's largest Islamist political party - have alleged continuous persecution of Muslims across the border and that "anti-Bangladesh" forces would continue to "spread provocation, communalism and propaganda".
While Bangladesh Khelafat Majlish (BKM) on Sunday alleged repression of Muslims in India, particularly in the two states bordering Bangladesh, demanding Dhaka summon the Indian envoy, NCP convener and MP Nahid Islam recently said developments in India could have "implications" for Bangladesh. However, governing BNP has said Dhaka seeks an honest and neighbourly relationship with New Delhi founded on mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.
