DHAKA/CHITTAGONG: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Bangladeshi fans had “tarnished the image of the nation” as she condemned the stone-throwing incident at the West Indies team bus.
Bangladesh supporters in Dhaka reacted with fury on Friday after the co-hosts were skittled for 58 before slumping to a nine-wicket defeat by West Indies in a World Cup Group B match.
As West Indies made their way back to the hotel in the team bus, stones were thrown by angry bystanders who thought the coach was carrying the home side.
“They (unruly fans) have tarnished the image of the nation and none should be allowed to do anything that will lower our image. I deeply regret the incident,” Hasina told a meeting of her party on Monday.
