Indian diplomat Pinak Ranjan Chakravarty has made unfounded allegations about the US Ambassador to Bangladesh, Peter Haas, claiming that he was allegedly hiding during the last farcical elections in Bangladesh on January 7, 2024. 

Bangladeshis are well aware of the fact that Indian unwanted intereference is what has kept the illegal Awami League regime of Sheikh Hasina in power without a mandate for the last 15 years. They are also well aware that it was India’s interference which led to yet another undemocratic and falsified elections in Bangladesh. BFDF joins the vast majority of Bangladeshis in strongly protesting and condemning India’s use of unprincipled and unashamed subterranean force.

Blatant meddling in Bangladeshi domestic affairs and mauling the sovereignty of the nation of Bangladesh by the Indian authorities is tantamount to blatant provocation and merits the aversion and revolt of the Bangladeshi people who want a free and democratic system of governance independent of Indian interference. 

Bangladeshis had no other options but to launch the #IndiaOut and #BoycottIndianProducts movements.
