The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bangladesh said in a statement on Monday evening that the government of Bangladesh was deeply offended by “the violent demonstration and attack” that a sizable contingent of Hindu Sangharsh Samity of Agartala protesters carried out on the grounds of the Assistant High Commission of Bangladesh in Agartala on Monday.

The statement reads, “Every member of the Assistant High Commission is left with a deep sense of insecurity.” “This particular act in Agartala stands in violation of the inviolability of diplomatic missions, as the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961, asks for,” the statement continues.

“As it is the responsibility of the host government to protect the diplomatic missions from any form of intrusion or damage, the government of Bangladesh calls upon the government of India to take immediate action to address this incident, to undertake a thorough investigation into the incident and to prevent any further acts of violence against the diplomatic missions of Bangladesh in India, including the safety and security of the diplomats and the non-diplomatic members of staff and members of their families,”further reads the statement.
