A map of “Akhand Bharat” has been installed in the Parliament of India. Bangladesh and some other countries are shown on that map.
State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam said that the Bangladesh Embassy in Delhi has been instructed to contact the country's Ministry of External Affairs to get India's official explanation on this matter.
Shahriar Alam told reporters at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday afternoon: “There is no reason to express doubts about it. However, for further clarification, we have asked the mission in Delhi to speak to the Indian Ministry of External Affairs to find out what their official explanation is.”
He said: “What we learnt is that India's Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson said that this is a map of the Ashoka Empire, 300 years before the birth of Christ. It includes a map of the area at that time and a mural. The mural depicts the journey of people. There may be cultural similarities, but it has nothing to do with politics.”
