India dismisses Bangladesh government’s claims, issues sharp response

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): India has officially rejected the allegations leveled by the Bangladesh government under Muhammad Yunus. The Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement, responding to Dhaka's recent press note, saying India has never allowed its territory to be used for any activities against Bangladesh.
