India<\/a> is in touch with the current authorities in Bangladesh and closely monitoring the condition of minorities<\/a> in the eastern neighbour, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Tuesday. This follows the unfolding crisis in Bangladesh in the aftermath of Sheikh Hasina<\/a>‘s resignation as prime minister and her escape to Delhi a day before.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Parliament, Jaishankar explained the complex turn of events in Bangladesh following the violent protests<\/a> over job quota<\/a>, and how Hasina temporarily sought refuge due to the worsening political situation<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“We are also monitoring the situation with regard to the status of minorities. There are reports of initiatives by various groups and organisations to ensure their protection and wellbeing. We welcome that, but will naturally remain deeply concerned till law and order is visibly restored. Our border guarding forces have also been instructed to be exceptionally alert in view of this complex situation,” the minister said.<\/p>\n

Jaishankar, delivering a suo-moto statement in Parliament, also mentioned that in the last 24 hours, New Delhi has been in regular touch with the authorities in Dhaka.<\/p>\n

ET<\/a> has learnt that India is in touch with the Bangladesh military establishment to ensure law and order in the country. “The situation in Bangladesh is still evolving. The Army chief<\/a>, General Waker-uz-Zaman, addressed the nation on 5th August. He spoke about assuming responsibility and constituting an interim government<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“Since the election in January 2024, there has been considerable tensions, deep divides and growing polarisation in Bangladesh politics. This underlying foundation aggravated a student agitation that started in June this year. There was growing violence, including attacks on public buildings and infrastructure, as well as traffic and rail obstructions. The violence continued through the month of July. Throughout this period, we repeatedly counselled restraint and urged that the situation be defused through dialogue. Similar urgings were made to various political forces with whom we were in touch,” Jaishankar recalled.He said despite a Supreme Court of Bangladesh ruling on July 21, there was no let-up in the agitation. “Various decisions and actions taken thereafter only exacerbated the situation. The agitation at this stage coalesced around a one-point agenda, that is…Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina should step down.”
