Mohammad had called on Advani on Monday on the eve of the first Indo-Bangla official level talks on the boundary issue since last April's border clashes and had delivered a letter from Bangladesh Home Minister Mohammad Naseem.
Sources said Advani took exception to Naseem's letter as it failed to even make a passing reference to the border incidents, especially the brutal killings of the BSF soldiers, which had hurt national sentiments.
The letter made no mention of any regret over the incident and just suggested that bilateral issues should be resolved through negotiations.
Advani reportedly told Mohammad that photographs published in newspapers showing a BSF jawans body being carried like an animal carcass by two Bangladeshi villagers would not be easily forgotten since it had created public outrage in the country.
The home minister is also understood to have asked the envoy to convey his feelings to the Bangladesh home minister.
