Dhaka: The interim government led by Professor Muhammad Yunus strongly refuted remarks made by US National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard regarding the alleged persecution of religious minorities in Bangladesh.

The government labelled her statements as “unfounded” and “lacking evidence or specific allegations.”

In a statement released via the Chief Adviser’s verified Facebook page late Monday, the government criticised Gabbard’s comments on an Indian television channel as “misleading and damaging.”

The statement emphasised Bangladesh’s commitment to religious inclusivity and its global reputation for practicing a peaceful and tolerant form of Islam.

Gabbard, currently visiting India, had claimed that religious minorities in Bangladesh, including Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, have faced long-standing persecution, killings, and abuses.

She linked these issues to “Islamic terrorist ideologies” aiming to establish a caliphate, suggesting this remains a major concern for the US government.

In response, the Chief Adviser’s office denounced any attempt to associate Bangladesh with such ideologies, stating it undermines the nation’s efforts to combat extremism and terrorism.

“Bangladesh strongly condemns any baseless efforts to connect the country to the notion of an ‘Islamist caliphate,'” the statement read.

The government highlighted its ongoing commitment to tackling extremism through partnerships with the international community, including the United States.

It pointed out that Bangladesh has made significant strides in addressing security challenges through law enforcement, social reforms, and counterterrorism initiatives.

The statement urged political leaders and public figures to base their comments on evidence and to avoid reinforcing stereotypes that could escalate tensions or foster divisive narratives.

Gabbard’s remarks about extremist ideologies and global terror threats came during her three-day visit to New Delhi.

However, Bangladesh reaffirmed its dedication to promoting peace, stability, and international cooperation in its counterterrorism efforts while respecting sovereignty and fostering constructive dialogue.
