1. Jitendra Singh wrote in the post that the protesters were speaking through loudspeakers, saying, “Those whose uncle’s house is in India should leave Bangladesh immediately.”

2. In Bangladesh, many Hindus’ houses are being burned and attacked, and an anti-India atmosphere is being created all over Bangladesh under the guise of this violence.

3. Due to the violence in Bangladesh, more than 4,500 Indian students have returned to India. So far, more than 115 people have been killed in this violence. India’s Ministry of External Affairs stated that the Indian High Commission in Bangladesh is in constant touch with local authorities for the safety of Indian citizens.

Editorial Perspectives

• Attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh are not uncommon. Therefore, it is not surprising that Hindus are being targeted in such violence.
• Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has neither done anything to protect Hindus before, nor is she doing anything now. It is unlikely that she will do anything in the future; this is the reality !
