The government in Parliament on Tuesday expressed its deep concern over a surge of violence targeting minorities in Bangladesh, a day after Sheikh Hasina resigned as its prime minister and escaped to India amid unrelenting protests.
The violence in the neighbouring country has been severe and unforgiving with numerous Hindu temples, homes, and businesses targeted and vandalised, women assaulted, and at least two Hindu leaders affiliated with Hasina's Awami League killed. In a particularly horrific incident, 24 people were burned alive at a luxury hotel owned by an Awami League leader in Jessore district, adding to the toll of 440 deaths in the latest spate of unrest.
In response to this crisis, key ministers, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, and National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval met during the day to discuss the fast-evolving situation in Bangladesh.
