India has called on Bangladesh to take decisive action against communal violence following the killings of five Hindu men under troubling circumstances in recent weeks. The appeal comes amid escalating worries about repeated attacks on minority communities, particularly targeting their homes and businesses.

Responding to the escalating crisis, Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for the External Affairs Ministry, emphasized the need for swift and robust measures to address such incidents. Jaiswal highlighted a pattern of attributing these attacks to personal or political issues, warning that such narratives only serve to encourage perpetrators.

The Indian government expressed deep concerns that the ongoing violence is fostering a climate of insecurity among minorities in Bangladesh, necessitating immediate attention and action from its neighboring nation.
