Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen yesterday denied that he urged the Indian government to help Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to stay in power.
Yesterday, after the cabinet meeting, journalists approached him for comments but he kept walking.
While making his way to the elevator at the cabinet office in the secretariat, he said, “I didn’t say anything. I didn’t seek assistance.”
“I talked about stability. There is instability globally,” he said.
Asked about his response to the allegations, he said, “Those are absolutely…” He did not complete the sentence.
Speaking at an event in Chattogram on Thursday, Momen requested the Indian government to do whatever necessary for the continuation of the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina-led government.
Finding himself in hot water for controversial comments is nothing new for the foreign minister.
A few days ago, Momen was widely criticised for saying that the people of the country are “living in heaven”.
He later blamed the media for “twisting” his words.
