Stress in India-Bangladesh relations after coup
There has been tension in India-Bangladesh relations since the coup of Sheikh Hasina. India has expressed displeasure over attacks on Hindus and minorities in Bangladesh. At the same time, Bangladesh has described India's allegations as the result of propaganda i.e. propaganda.
However, since the coup, Hindu religious places and Hindu leaders are being targeted in Bangladesh. Chinmay Krishna Das, a religious leader associated with ISKCON, has been in police custody since November 25 on charges of treason.
In a report released by Transparency International Bangladesh last month, it was reported that the interim government of Bangladesh has increased violence against Hindus in the first 100 days. The Yunus administration has failed to stop crimes against minorities.
According to this report, between 5 and 20 August, more than 2 thousand cases of crime against minorities were reported, in which 9 minorities were killed. In these cases, the government is negligent in identifying and punishing criminals.
