There is a political crisis in Bangladesh. The situation is being observed by the Indian authorities. S Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs, addressed the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday and outlined India's position about the situation in Bangladesh. The minister of external affairs claimed that there are homeless people in Bangladesh and that the country's minority Hindu population has been singled out. According to Jaishankar, the status of minorities is being observed. Police and protestors clashed as well. The foreign minister claimed that Sheikh Hasina had asked for permission to travel to India following her resignation.

 

S Jaishankar, the minister of external affairs, will also speak in the Lok Sabha at 3:30 p.m. The central government convened an all-party meeting earlier in the afternoon on Tuesday. "External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stated during the meeting that the situation in Bangladesh is not so bad that 12,000–13, 000 Indians need to be evacuated from the violent nation." Twenty thousand Indian citizens, according to the foreign minister, were present. About 8,000 of these are Indians who have come back. "The changing circumstances in Bangladesh are being attentively observed by our government. The protests have claimed the lives of almost 300 individuals. Every ally of the NDA was present at the conference. Along with them were representatives of the majority of opposition parties in both chambers, Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge. The AAP asserted, however, that it was not invited to the conference.

 

In the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stated that violence has been occurring in Bangladesh since July. The High Court's ruling on reservations there was overruled by the Supreme Court on July 21. The protests persisted despite this. On August 4, things became more dire. Police and demonstrators fight. There was damage to public properties. August 5 was declared a curfew day. The march was held in public in spite of this. In his speech to the country, the Army Chief pleaded for peace. Minority Hindus have been singled out for violence. The Indian community is kept informed by our government, which also keeps an eye on minority conditions. Sheikh Hasina abruptly resigned as prime minister in the wake of the violence and asked for permission to travel to India. Following the entire incident, BSF has been urged to be vigilant and our border is being watched. We communicate with the Dhaka government as well. India is prepared for any circumstance. The foreign minister reported that Hasina and the government had a brief conversation as well. 

 

The administration reportedly wants to give Hasina some time to consider her options for the future. According to Jaishankar, things are precarious right now. Attacks have been made on Hindu temples, homes, and businesses.
