Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said the Awami League has never requested India to provide the party with support to stay in power on Friday.
"The Awami League has never requested India to provide support to stay in power and no one has been given responsibility by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to say it. This may be one's personal opinion," he said
He said this after inaugurating the central Janmashtami procession at the Palashi intersection in Dhaka on Friday.
He commented that Bangladesh has no hostile relationship with India, and the country had been harmed by its hostility with India in the past.
The minister also said that there were no communal attacks except for a few isolated incidents after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government came to power.
Those who attacked the Hindu community were miscreants, he added.
