India Scales Down Diplomatic Presence in Bangladesh Temporarily
Along with the High Commission in Dhaka, India has High Commission Assistants in Chittagong, Rajshahi, Hulna and Silha.
India has scaled down its diplomatic presence in Bangladesh temporarily in view of the ongoing security and political concerns spurred by the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
"The return of non-essential staff and families from Indian High Commission in Dhaka has taken place on voluntary basis through a commercial flight. All diplomats remains in the High Commission. The High Commission remains functional," government sources told Sputnik India on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the India's Assistant High Commission in Sylhet announced on Wednesday morning that it would "remain closed till further notice".
The development comes a day after External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar told the Indian Parliament that New Delhi expected the Bangladeshi authorities to "provide the required security protection" for Indian diplomatic missions in Bangladesh.
"We look forward to their normal functioning once the situation stabilizes," Jaishankar said in his statement on the Bangladesh situation, delivered a day after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled violent anti-government protestors in a military chopper to India.
Jaishankar also stated during his statement that the situation in Bangladesh was still "evolving", noting military-led efforts to form an interim government.
Hasina, who arrived at Indian Air Force's (IAF) Hindon base near Delhi on Monday evening, is still believed to be India at an undisclosed location.
Earlier, Bangladeshi experts have told
Sputnik India that Hasina's departure has been marked by a
spurt in anti-India sentiment in the country, as well as widespread attacks on Hindu residences, businesses and temples.
