Anti India movement

Following the resignation of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina the anti India protest grew rapidly in Bangladesh. Sheikh Hasina was fled to India right after the resignation. She was accused for mass killing during July Uprising. According to Prisoner exchange agreement with India and Bangladesh, Bangladesh Government formally asked to handover her. But despite government effort of Bangladesh Indian government had no answer with that. So people sentiment against India and against Indian aggression in Bangladeshi internal affairs grew rapidly which caused to various Bangladeshi political group launch an attacking Indian diplomatic mission in Bangladesh. ^{[5] [6] [7]}
