The development comes a day after Hasina's speech on Wednesday night in which she called upon the countrymen to organise a resistance against the current regime.

Bangladesh lodged a protest with India's acting envoy over 'false and fabricated comments' by ex-prime minister Sheikh Hasina, calling it a hostile act. Her speech from India incited vandalism, including setting her father's house on fire.

Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the statements by Sheikh Hasina are “instigating instability in Bangladesh”.
