During his Independence Day address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed concern over the safety of Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh amidst ongoing unrest in the country. His comments come in the wake of several violent incidents targeting minority communities in Bangladesh.

PM Modi emphasized India’s longstanding desire for its neighboring countries to experience peace and prosperity. "As a neighboring country, I share the concern over the developments in Bangladesh. I hope that normalcy is restored soon. The safety of Hindus and minorities there is a concern for 140 crore Indians," he stated.

The Prime Minister reaffirmed India’s support for Bangladesh’s progress, saying, "In the coming days, India will continue to wish Bangladesh well on its 'Vikas Yatra,' as we always prioritize the welfare of humanity."

Bangladesh has been in turmoil since June, with widespread protests that began over government job quotas and soon turned into anti-government demonstrations. Following the ouster of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her subsequent escape to India, violence against minorities, particularly Hindus, has escalated. Mobs have attacked Hindu-owned businesses and homes, and several lynchings have been reported. Nobel Peace laureate Muhammad Yunus, now leading Bangladesh’s interim government, has called for the protection of minorities, emphasizing that they are equal citizens with the same rights as others in the country.
