Bangladesh’s interim government on Sunday cancelled a planned training programme for 50 judges and judicial officers in India, scrapping a previous notification.
"The notification has been cancelled," a law ministry spokesman said without elaborating.
The Daily Star newspaper, however, reported the cancellation came in compliance with a directive from Bangladesh’s Supreme Court.
The cancellation order came a day after the state-run Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha reported that 50 lower judiciary judges would undergo a one-day training programme from February 10 at the Judicial Academy and the State Judicial Academy in Madhya Pradesh.
The trainee judges selected under the programme were district and sessions judges or equivalent officers, additional district and sessions judges, joint district judges, senior assistant judges and assistant judges.
The Indian government was supposed to bear all the expenses for the training programmes.
India and Bangladesh have witnessed strained ties since the deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled to New Delhi on August 5 last year following a massive student-led protest that toppled her Awami League's 16-year regime.
There have been a series of attacks on Hindu community members and their places of worship after the interim government headed by Muhammad Yunus came to power on August 8.
New Delhi has already raised concerns with Dhaka, especially after a Hindu monk was arrested in a sedition case and put in jail after he was denied bail last month.
