The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India has called on the Bangladesh government to take immediate and strong action to ensure the safety and protection of Hindus in the country. This comes in response to escalating tensions and incidents of violence, including reports of arson in Chittagong, where several shops and homes belonging to the tribal Hindu community were set on fire.
The situation in Chittagong turned volatile following a clash between local Hindu communities and law enforcement agencies. The unrest was reportedly triggered by a Facebook post made by a Muslim youth that criticized the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
The post led to widespread anger within the Hindu community, which resulted in protests and clashes with the police.
Saifuddin Tuhin, a local reporter from Chittagong, detailed the events, explaining that after the protests, a joint operation was launched by the police and the army to restore order. According to Tuhin, the protests turned violent when the demonstrators threw bricks and other objects at the police.
