Muhammad Yunus, the Chief Adviser of Bangladesh's interim government, reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, assuring the protection of Hindus and other minority communities amid escalating tensions in the country. This conversation comes after the violent protests that erupted following the departure of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from Bangladesh.
Yunus, a Nobel laureate, emphasized his commitment to safeguarding the rights of all citizens, irrespective of their religion. He made a public appeal to protesters, urging them to avoid any attacks on minority groups, labeling the reported incidents as "heinous."
Prime Minister Modi, in his social media post, expressed India's support for a peaceful and progressive Bangladesh, highlighting Yunus' assurances regarding the safety of minorities. This dialogue underscores the increasing regional concern over the stability of Bangladesh during its transitional phase.
The situation in Bangladesh remains tense, with international attention focused on the government's efforts to maintain order and protect vulnerable communities during this period of unrest.
