MEA Debunks India's Role in Bangladesh Floods Affecting 5 Million
Aug 30, 2024, 11:06 AM
Recent reports have falsely accused India of causing the floods in Bangladesh. These claims have been debunked by multiple sources, including a fact-check report that highlights the misleading nature of viral videos and images. The floods, which have affected over 5 million people in Bangladesh, were caused by heavy rains, not actions by India. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has criticized media narratives, including a CNN report, suggesting India's responsibility, labeling them as misleading and factually incorrect. Community activist Pradip Das also attributed the flooding to heavy rains and river mismanagement in Bangladesh. The MEA, represented by spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, emphasized its ongoing cooperation with Bangladesh, including data sharing and a flood water sharing mechanism.
