Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday lodged a strong protest with Dhaka over the controversial remarks made by a key aide of Bangladesh's interim government Mahfuj Alam.
Alam wrote in his Facebook post that India should recognise the uprising that forced the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to resign.
"We have registered our strong protest on this issue with the Bangladesh side. We understand that the post being referred to has reportedly been taken down," said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.

"We would like to remind all concerned to be mindful of their public comments," he said.
"While India has repeatedly signalled interest in fostering relations with the people and the interim government of Bangladesh, such comments underline the need for responsibility in public articulation," Jaiswal added.
After a row erupted over the post, Alam had deleted it, reported PTI.
Hasina was forced to resign after massive protests erupted in Bangladesh over the reservations in government jobs. She fled from Dhaka in August as protesters rampaged her mansion.
Presently, Hasina is seeking refuge in India.
Since the formation of the interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, the relations between India and Bangladesh have been strained.
Recently, India has raised concerns over the rising attacks targeting Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh. India urged the Bangladesh government to ensure the safety and security of the Hindus and minorities in the country.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri visited Bangladesh a week ago and conveyed India's concerns and also urged the interim government to follow a "constructive approach".
