India has called on Bangladesh to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and all minority groups, along with their places of worship, during the ongoing festival season. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued a statement on Saturday expressing serious concern over recent attacks, including an incident at a Puja mandap in Tantibazar, Dhaka, and theft at the revered Jeshoreshwari Kali temple in Satkhira. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal condemned these events as “deplorable,” highlighting a “systematic pattern of desecration and damage to temples and deities” that has emerged over several days.
