BJP MP Anurag Thakur has accused Congress of attempting to push the country into a state of anarchy following remarks made by Congress leader Salman Khurshid about violent protests in Bangladesh. Thakur criticized Congress's leadership for their mentality and questioned whether the party agreed with Khurshid's statements.

Senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid refused to elaborate further on his comments, telling reporters that he only speaks publicly, not in private. His remarks have sparked significant backlash from the BJP, with spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla accusing him of trying to provoke and incite people in India.

Poonawalla claimed Khurshid's remarks were an example of Congress prioritizing politics over national interest. Amidst political turmoil in Bangladesh, the Indian High Commission assured the continued safety and support for Indian nationals residing in the country, with a significant number having already returned to India.
