PM Modi applauds return to normalcy and protection of Hindus

As Muhammad Yunus became the chief advisor of the interim government in Dhaka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his best wishes and expressed India’s expectations for the protection of Hindus in Bangladesh. The interim government was formed after mass protests led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League government.

Modi emphasized the importance of a quick return to normalcy and the safety of minority communities in Bangladesh. He reiterated India’s commitment to working with Bangladesh for peace, security, and development.

New Delhi’s prompt communication with the new government in Dhaka was crucial as radical elements in Bangladesh sought to exploit the situation. The historic ties between India and the Awami League date back to the 1971 Liberation War.

India’s concerns extend to the attacks on minority communities in Bangladesh. The Ministry of External Affairs highlighted the importance of prioritizing the well-being of the people of Bangladesh. Meanwhile, former Prime Minister Hasina is in India after stepping down amidst protests in Dhaka.
