India on Thursday strongly condemned the sabotage of Bangladesh founder Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s residence in Dhaka. The incident occurred on 5 February, when thousands of protesters set fire to the prestigious house, causing large -scale damage. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in India expressed deep concern over the attack, highlighting the historical and cultural significance of the residence. India called upon the criminals to be accountable and emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the region. Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said in a statement that it is sad that this historical residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a symbol of the brave resistance of the people of Bangladesh against the forces of occupation and oppression, was burnt on 5 February 2025.

The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized the important role of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s residence in shaping Bangladesh’s national identity. The statement said that those who give importance to the freedom struggle that nurture Bangla identity and pride are aware of the importance of this residence for the national consciousness of Bangladesh. This act of barbarity should be strongly condemned. It should be noted here that violent protesters also demolished the homes of the leaders of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League after the live online address of the disorganized Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and disturbed the frescoes of Mujibur Rahman. On Wednesday, several thousand people held a rally in front of the house of Hasina’s father Mujibur Rahman, located in Dhanmandi area of ​​the capital, which was earlier converted into a memorial museum. The rally took place on social media after a bulldozer procession call, as Hasina had to give her address.

The Bangladesh Foreign Ministry also lodged a strong protest against the Government of India over the “false and fabricated” comments and statements being made on various platforms including social media with the aim of inciting instability by former Prime Minister of the country Sheikh Hasina. Through a protest note handed over to the Acting High Commissioner of India in Dhaka, the Bangladesh Foreign Ministry said that it has expressed deep concern, disappointment and serious objections of the Bangladesh government. Bangladesh’s Foreign Ministry also emphasized that his activities are considered hostile to Bangladesh and it is not favorable for efforts to establish a healthy relationship between the two countries.
