Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee called for a United Nations peacekeeping force in Bangladesh and PM Modi's intervention to protect Hindu minorities amid escalating violence. The unrest began in August, leading to PM Sheikh Hasina's resignation and an interim government under Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus. ISKCON priests' arrests and attacks on Hindu temples have drawn global attention. Banerjee expressed solidarity with victims and urged India to engage with the UN. Meanwhile, India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar emphasized Bangladesh's responsibility to safeguard minorities. Protests continue across Bangladesh, demanding stronger protections for religious minorities.
