Speaking to ANI, Congress MP Ranjeet Ranjan stated, "We said yesterday too that a few monks coming to India were stopped. So, our government should intervene as it is a matter of the security of minorities."

"The Prime Minister should take the Opposition into confidence. Whenever such international controversies occur, we talk to each other. We hope that PM Modi intervenes and gathers information on their security," said Ranjan.

Notably, India has tightened visa curbs after the escalation of violence against various religious minorities in the neighbouring country. Reportedly, over 60 monks were stopped at Benapole land port in Bangladesh over the weekend and were not allowed to enter India, as claimed by a spokesperson of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) Kolkata.
