{ "title": "Bangladesh Denies India's Allegations of 'Unremitting Hostilities' Against Minorities", "article": "Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has dismissed India's concerns over alleged 'unremitting hostilities' against minorities in the country. In a statement, Dhaka termed the recent lynching of a Hindu youth as an 'isolated criminal incident' and accused India of misusing the incident to spread anti-Bangladesh sentiment. India had flagged 'unremitting hostilities' against minorities in Bangladesh, citing the killing of Dipu Chandra Das, a Hindu youth who was lynched in Mymensingh last week. Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson SM Mahbubul Alam said that India's concerns do not reflect reality, and that these incidents are being 'misused to spread anti-Bangladesh sentiment'. India's Ministry of External Affairs had expressed grave concern over the violence against minorities in Bangladesh, including Hindus, Christians, and Buddhists. The country condemned the recent killing of Dipu Chandra Das and called for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. Independent sources have documented over 2,900 incidents of violence against minorities in Bangladesh since the country fell into a political crisis. However, Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs maintains that these incidents are isolated and do not represent a broader pattern of persecution. "
