Kolkata: Bangladesh on December 17 vehemently denied India's allegations that it was harbouring Pakistani Inter State Intelligence (ISI) elements in its land and allowing setting up of ultra camps to conduct anti-Indian activities from its soil.

''It is unfortunate and rather insulting that such allegations are levelled, time and again, against us,'' the Bangladesh High Commissioner in India, Tofail Haider, told reporters at the Writers' Buildings (state Secretariat) in Kolkata.

Haider, who met West Bengal's Chief Secretary S N Roy and Home Secretary A K Deb at the Secretariat, said there were no ISI training camps in Bangladesh even though Indian media reports, in particular, had been repeatedly levelling such charges against Dhaka.

''I consider such allegations against our country as unfortunate and insulting too,'' the Bangladesh envoy said.

Haider's clarification came close on the heels of the allegations levelled by Lieutenant-General J S Varma, General Officer Commanding in-charge, Eastern Command on December 16 that the Army had information about existence of militant camps in Bangladesh and that Dhaka did not take adequate measures to curb ultra activities.
