Vikram Mishri said that Sheikh Hasina is using a 'personal communication device' for her comments. The Indian government has not given her (Sheikh Hasina) any platform or facilities through which she can continue her political activities sitting on Indian soil. This is part of India's traditional practice of non-interference in the internal affairs of any third country.
