Limits are being crossed in Bangladesh.
The medieval manner in which temples are being demolished and idols are being burnt during the tenure of the interim government in Bangladesh, which was once India's most trusted neighbour, after the coup in the name of student movement is absolutely unacceptable. All effective measures should be considered to put pressure on Bangladesh.

Attacks on Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh, which was India's trusted neighbor during Sheikh Hasina's tenure, have been happening since the coup in the name of student movement, but now the medieval methods with which the incidents of destruction of temples and burning of idols are not stopping are really very worrying.
Such incidents have been happening there since the independence of Bangladesh, but instability for such a long time has not been seen since 1971. The Bangladesh government turning a blind eye to these incidents is also surprising.
More than two thousand incidents of violence against minorities were recorded in the first three weeks after Sheikh Hasina was ousted on August 5, but it is surprising that the head of the interim government does not consider it a serious issue. In fact, the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus
The attitude of the interim government is completely anti-India, which is also visible in its decisions. On one hand, there were big demonstrations in many areas including Dhaka against the arrest of religious leader Chinmaydas, while on the other hand, India also appealed to look into the matter of the arrest of the religious leader impartially.
But in response to this, Bangladesh said that it is its internal matter. Even after knowing how Bangladesh became a hideout of Pakistani terrorists during the tenure of Khalida Zia before Sheikh Hasina and how India had once come forward as a friend to liberate them from the atrocities of the Pakistani army, if the Yunus government is emphasizing on its relations with the same Pakistan instead of India, then what should be understood from this.
On top of this, Yunus' claim that the rights of minorities in Bangladesh are more secure during the tenure of the interim government than the Sheikh Hasina government is completely opposite to the situation that is visible. There is a lot of oppression on Hindus in Bangladesh
Protests are being held in American cities like Chicago and Washington against the atrocities being committed, but the silence of the major opposition parties of India is troubling.
The united manner in which the minorities in Bangladesh have chosen the path of protest instead of migration is indeed commendable.
India shares a border of about four thousand kilometers with Bangladesh and India is well aware of how terrorists had become a threat to national security during the period of the fundamentalist government in Bangladesh. In such a time of tension, the importance of the visit of the Foreign Secretary to Bangladesh increases further
