The foreign ministry today summoned Indian Deputy High Commissioner in Dhaka Pawan Badhe to formally convey Bangladesh‍‍`s serious concern over the Indian government allowing absconding premier Sheikh Hasina to interact with the mainstream Indian media, a high-level diplomatic source told BSS this evening. 

The ministry reportedly conveyed that harbouring such a notorious fugitive currently under trial for committing crimes against humanity and granting her a platform to spew hatred and advocate terrorist acts inside Bangladesh are unhelpful to fostering a constructive bilateral relationship between the two countries. 

The Indian diplomat was asked to convey to New Delhi Bangladesh‍‍`s request to immediately discontinue Hasina‍‍`s access to media, said the ssourceource.
