Bangladesh summons Myanmar envoy over spreading false news

Bangladesh has summoned Myanmar's ambassador in Dhaka following publication of irresponsible and false news by some media of Myanmar involving Bangladesh.

The foreign ministry summoned Myanmar Ambassador in Dhaka Lwin Oo on Tuesday afternoon and handed over a strongly-worded protest note to him.

The Myanmar envoy entered the ministry around 5pm and came out of it around 5:45pm, reports UNB.

"The government of Bangladesh is utterly disgruntled to notice some reports in Myanmar media based on irresponsible and false allegations by the officials of the General Administration Department of Myanmar implicating Bangladesh into a terrorist attack on a police post in Maungdaw Township near Boundary Pillar No 41 in the early hours of January 24, 2019," the Foreign Ministry said in the protest note.
