Bangladeshi journalist calls for peaceful ties with India

Bangladeshi journalist Muktadir Rashid urged peaceful relations with India and neighbouring countries, criticising Jamaat-linked Islami Chhatra Shibir for anti-India sentiment. Calling current unrest the work of fringe forces, he said Bangladesh prefers calm cooperation. On the lynching of Dipu Chandra Das, Rashid appealed for a humanitarian, not sectarian, response to violence.
