In response, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs expressed its disapproval of the attack, stating that diplomatic and consular missions should never be targeted under any circumstances. The ministry emphasized that India remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of foreign diplomats and their premises within the country.
To address the growing concerns, India has announced an increase in security arrangements at the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi, as well as for the Deputy High Commissions across the country. The government has assured Bangladesh that all necessary measures will be taken to prevent further incidents.
Channmay Krishna Das, a prominent Hindu leader, is currently facing multiple charges in Bangladesh, including treason. His arrest has led to violent protests in major cities, including Dhaka and Chittagong, where clashes have broken out between demonstrators and law enforcement agencies.
In the unrest that followed, a lawyer named Saif Islam tragically lost his life during the protests. The violence has further strained relations between the two neighboring countries, which have had a history of diplomatic tensions over various issues, including border disputes and cross-border terrorism.
The arrest of the Hindu leader and the subsequent violence have added another layer of complexity to the already sensitive political and religious landscape in both nations. Both India and Bangladesh are now under pressure to manage the diplomatic fallout from the incident and avoid further escalation.
As of now, the situation remains tense, with authorities in both countries working to defuse tensions and prevent further unrest.
