“It is the Bangladesh government's stated position not to allow its soil
to be used for anti-India activities,” Bangladesh's High Commissioner to
India Liaqat A Chowdhury said today. “Much before this (the Jaipur terror
attack) happened, we had taken action against terrorism,” the high
commissioner said.
The Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Sriprakash Jaiswal on Wednesday
said that a 'foreign hand' was suspected to be behind the blasts. Intelligence
agencies suspect the Bangladesh-based Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) could be
behind the serial blasts in Jaipur on Tuesday evening that killed at least 61
people and injured 216.
In Dhaka, Foreign Affairs Adviser Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury said that Indian
media reports linking the blasts to HuJi were 'hasty'. He said that they 'should
not jump to conclusions before thorough investigations are conducted'.
“These are terrorists who have done these sordid and heinous deeds, and
terrorists have no boundaries," he added.
The Bangladesh government on Tuesday condemned the blasts and expressed its
sympathies to the victims and their families. (IANS)
