India has firmly rejected Bangladesh's remarks on recent violence in West Bengal, advising Dhaka to focus on safeguarding its own minorities. The Ministry of External Affairs emphasized that the protection of all citizens, including minorities, is Bangladesh's responsibility. India expressed serious concern over the surge in extremist rhetoric and increasing incidents of violence in Bangladesh, particularly against Hindus. The arrest of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das on sedition charges has further strained relations. India expects that legal processes will be fair and transparent. The Indian government continues to monitor the situation closely, urging Bangladesh to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and welfare of its minority communities. (PC: Mint & PTI)
