India on Wednesday rejected allegations made by Bangladesh’s Interim Government that anti-Bangladesh activities were being carried out from Indian territory by members of the Awami League.

Awami League is the party of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is currently in India, living in exile, after student-led protests against her government were hijacked by Islamists last year.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said New Delhi was “not aware of any anti-Bangladesh activities by purported members of the Awami League in India or of any action that is contrary to Indian law".

“The Government does not allow political activities against other countries to be carried out from Indian soil. The Press Statement by the Interim Government of Bangladesh is thus misplaced," Jaiswal said in a statement released by the ministry on Wednesday evening.
