India on Friday summoned the acting envoy of Bangladesh to protest against statements emanating from the neighbouring country.

"Bangladesh acting high commissioner to India, Md Nural Islam, was summoned by MEA to South Block," MEA spokesperson said. It was conveyed that India desires a positive, constructive and mutually beneficial relationship with Bangladesh, which has been reiterated several times in recent high-level meetings, the spokesperson said.

Comments attributed to former prime minister Sheikh Hasina have been made in her individual capacity in which India has no role to play, the spokesperson said. "While the Government of India will make efforts for a mutually beneficial relationship we expect that Bangladesh will reciprocate similarly without vitiating the atmosphere," the spokesperson added.
