A group of retired Armed Forces officers, meanwhile, under the banner of the 鈥楴ational unity and solidarity council,鈥� on Saturday urged all to unite against what they described as an Indian aggression, United News of Bangladesh reported.
Retired Colonel Ahsan Ullah, a freedom fighter and the convener of the organisation, came up with the call while speaking at a rally organised protesting at the attack on the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala, Tripura on December 2.
They brought out a procession from Mohakhali鈥檚 Raowa Complex that concluded at the same location after marching through Bijoy Sarani area around 10:00am.
Expressing deep concern over the attack, the speakers said that since the July-August mass uprising the Indian media launched a propaganda campaign against Bangladesh.
The attack on the Bangladesh mission demonstrated India鈥檚 policy of dominance and aggression and India must understand that the people of Bangladesh would not tolerate any attempt to undermine the sovereignty of their country, they said.
The protest against the mission attack continued for the sixth day running on Saturday in the capital and elsewhere in the country.聽
The Bangladesh mission in Agartala came under attack in the afternoon of December 2 by a group of Indians during their protests demanding the release of Hindu community leader in Bangladesh Chinmoy Krishna Das, now in jail in a sedition case.

Security measures of the Indian High Commission in Dhaka and other Indian missions in the country鈥檚 other cities have been tightened since the Agartala attack.
