India: Hostilities against minorities a grave concern
Business Standard
|December 27, 2025
MEA says these incidents cannot be brushed aside as political violence
India on Friday said the "unremitting hostilities" against minorities in Bangladesh was a matter of "grave concern" as it demanded punishment to the perpetrators involved in the lynching of a Hindu youth in Mymensingh area last week.
New Delhi also reacted cautiously to the return to Dhaka of Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) acting chairman Tarique Rahman after 17 years, saying it should be seen in the context of India's push for ensuring free, fair and inclusive parliamentary polls in that country.
External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India condemned the recent killing of Dipu Chandra Das and demanded action against those involved in the killing. "The unremitting hostilities against the minorities in Bangladesh including Hindus, Christians and Buddhists at the hands of extremists is a matter of grave concern."
