Mamata yet again played a 'cheap and unethical' game ::: She says Amit Shah prevented her from disclosing matters related to a murder in Bangladesh ::: As of now Dhaka snubbed her !!

 "An election has taken place in another country, and a political leader has made certain remarks. That is not our matter to discuss," Bangladesh junior minister for 

Foreign Affairs Shama Obaed told reporters in Dhaka.

Her remarks came in the wake of unprecedented claims made by ousted, defeated and rebuked CM of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee.

The much disgraced Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday alleged that Home Minister Amit Shah asked her to keep quiet about the arrest of suspects linked to the killing of a Bangladeshi political activist. Firstly, Shah will not directly say something to a chief minister or a leader who is known to opposing BJP so openly. 

Secondly, even if he has said - the matters related to discussions between a Home Minister and a chief minister in office. That means the confidentiality vis-a-vis national security issues ought to be maintained. 

Thirdly, Mamata's comments came at a rally where she stood exposed and deserted. 

Desperate to save her prestige and party, Mamata was addressing a protest rally and the turnout was poor and even many of her party colleagues and 'Tollywood bhakts' stayed away from the event.    

Though Mamata did not mention the victim’s name, her comments appeared to refer to Sharif Osman bin Hadi, slain spokesperson of Bangladesh’s Inquilab Mancha. 

 Hadi, spokesperson of Inqilab Moncho, emerged as one of the most recognisable figures of Bangladesh’s post-uprising political landscape. His killing in December 2025 triggered widespread public outrage, protests and demands for accountability.

Referring to the murder of Osman Hadi, the State Minister Ms Shama said Bangladesh would give due consideration to any official communication from the government of India regarding the issue.

She said both the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are actively and seriously engaged in the matter, adding that significant progress has already been made.  

"We want justice for Hadi's murder. Efforts are underway, and we expect those arrested in India to be returned to Bangladesh so that the legal process can proceed here," she said.

Shama Obaed emphasised that Bangladesh remains committed to pursuing the case through appropriate diplomatic and legal channels and is maintaining close engagement on the issue.

She also said it would not be appropriate to give a response based solely on comments made by an individual political leader in Kolkata.  

A complaint has been filed against former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee over her remarks involving the arrest of suspects linked to the murder of Sharif Osman bin Hadi.  

Advocate Rinki Chatterjee Singh lodged the complaint on Thursday at the Siliguri Cyber Police Station.  

In her filing, Rinki alleged that Mamata, through public speeches, political platforms, and media interactions, made “provocative and inflammatory statements” against constitutional institutions of India, including the Election Commission of India and the Central Armed Forces deployed for maintaining law and order during elections.
