Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha voiced concerns regarding violence against Sanatan Dharma believers in Bangladesh, emphasizing the Indian government's awareness. Criticizing past governance for fostering atheism, Saha stated respect for all religions but warned against threats to communal harmony, highlighting improved law and order and infrastructural developments in religious sites since 2014.

Tripura's Chief Minister Manik Saha raised serious concerns about ongoing attacks on Sanatan Dharma believers in Bangladesh. Addressing a conference in Gomati district, Saha assured attendees that both the central and state governments were fully aware of the incidents affecting religious minorities in the neighboring country.

This issue was echoed by Tipra Motha leader Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, who pointed out recent attacks in Bangladesh's Chittagong region near the Tripura border. Saha warned perpetrators to reconsider before targeting Sanatan Dharma followers, highlighting the resilience of the ancient religion.

The Chief Minister criticized the previous 35-year reign of the CPI(M) party in Tripura for fostering an atheistic environment. He attributed their decline to their failure to respect religious sentiments and emphasized the BJP's commitment to religious harmony. Saha also highlighted improvements in law and order and outlined Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts since 2014 to enhance infrastructure around key religious sites.
