Bangladesh PM’s adviser returns from Delhi airport; says he was ‘humiliated’ by immigration

After Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s Information and Broadcasting Adviser Zahed Ur Rahman returned from Delhi airport following what Dhaka described as “humiliating treatment”, official sources here said that Mr. Rahman was “held” on Sunday evening for “verification” because he has a history of combative comments on India-related issues.
