In the past five months, violent demonstrations and violence have not stopped in Bangladesh. Cases of atrocities against minority Hindus are increasing in neighboring countries. Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha on Saturday issued a warning to Bangladesh’s interim government after being condemned by the Indian government.
Manik Saha said that if the interim government of Bangladesh does not take corrective measures, it will only harm neighboring countries. He said those in power in neighboring countries have forgotten the past and are trying to rewrite history. During this time, Saha urged people to resist attacks against minorities.

Interim government intensifies attacks on minorities
Sheikh Hasina had to resign as prime minister in July due to violent protests in Bangladesh over reservation issues in June. He left Bangladesh and took refuge in India. Thereafter, an interim government led by Muhammad Yunus was established. However, attacks against ethnic minorities increased in Bangladesh after the formation of the interim government.
