Provocative, Bangladesh protests Mamata Banerjee's 'shelter' remark

The Bangladesh government has reportedly registered its protest with New Delhi against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s recent statement offering ‘shelter to helpless people’ fleeing from the violence-hit neighbouring country. "With due respect to the West Bengal Chief Minister, with whom we share a very close relationship, we want to make it clear that her comments have a lot of scope for confusion. Therefore, we have given a note to the Government of India," Hasan Mahmud, Bangladesh Foreign Minister, said about the note Dhaka has reportedly sent to New Delhi.Bangladesh have been described her commentas ‘provocative.’ 
The High Commission was told that West Bengal chief minister's statement on the ‘internal affairs' of Bangladesh, also contained ‘inaccuracies,’ and that the authorities in Dhaka and elsewhere, were trying to restore ‘normalcy.’ The development comes after Dr Mohammed Hasan Mahmud, the neighbouring country's foreign minister and a senior member of the ruling Awami League party, said that the words of Banerjee, whose state shares border with Bangladesh, could create ‘confusion’ and ‘mislead people.’
West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has sought a report from Banerjee on her comment. The Raj Bhavan stated that it is the prerogative of the centre to comment on anything that is associated with external affairs. The Governor's office called her statement willing to provide shelter a ‘Constitutional transgression’ of very serious nature.
