India Summons Bangladesh Envoy Over Extremist Threats, MEA Issues Demarche

• India summoned Bangladesh's High Commissioner over security concerns and alleged threats to the Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka.
• The summoning followed "proactive statements" by NCP leader Hasnat Abdullah, who threatened to shelter anti-India forces and sever India's "seven sisters".
• Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma condemned Abdullah's remarks as "irresponsible and dangerous"; similar statements were made by Muhammad Yunus.
• MEA rejected "false narrative" by extremist elements and criticized Bangladesh's interim government for lack of investigation into incidents.
• Tensions escalated as Bangladesh accused India of "anti-Bangladesh activities," a claim rejected by New Delhi, and an Indian visa centre in Dhaka temporarily closed.

Why It Matters: India-Bangladesh ties strained over extremist threats, anti-India rhetoric, and mutual accusations.
