Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his congratulations to Nobel Peace Prize laureate Muhammad Yunus on his new role as the head of Bangladesh's interim government.

In a message shared on social media, PM Modi emphasized India's ongoing commitment to working closely with Bangladesh. He underscored the importance of ensuring the safety and security of Hindu and other minority communities in the country.

"My heartfelt congratulations to Professor Muhammad Yunus on assuming his new responsibilities. We look forward to a swift return to stability in Bangladesh, with a focus on the protection of Hindus and all minority groups. India remains dedicated to collaborating with Bangladesh to achieve our mutual goals of peace, security, and development," the Prime Minister stated.

This message comes in the wake of increasing violence against minority communities, particularly Hindus, following the recent political upheaval in Bangladesh that led to the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government.

Muhammad Yunus, 84, returned to Bangladesh from Paris, where he had been receiving medical treatment, and was sworn in as the leader of the caretaker government later in the day. His appointment came after student-led protests, which played a significant role in the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Awami League government. Yunus will now lead the interim administration, tasked with overseeing the upcoming elections in Bangladesh.
