Shah, Jaishankar and Doval meeting on Bangladesh violence, challenges for security agencies increased

Due to the political upheaval in Bangladesh, high vigilance is being maintained at every level in India. The central government is concerned about about 19 thousand Indians stranded in Bangladesh as well as the continuous attacks on minority Hindus there. This is likely to increase migration from Bangladesh to India.

Due to instability in the neighborhood, there is also a danger of militant organizations becoming active again on the eastern border. Along with all these issues, Home Minister Amit Shah held a high-level meeting with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval in Parliament House on Tuesday to discuss the current situation in Bangladesh.

Even the Home Secretary was present here. After the erstwhile Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina left her country in urgency and came to India, anarchy on the eastern border is feared to rise, thereby increasing challenges for the security agencies. This might be the reason that every activity is being scanned minutely and even the smallest incidents are being revised. Bangladesh has a more than crore 30 lakh Hindu population.

The attacks against them have increased after the incident. Fundamentalists have vandalized Hindu temples. Anarchy has spread to such an extent that even the police and army of Bangladesh are not in a position to do anything. Whenever fundamentalist forces have dominated the neighboring country, a large number of its citizens have taken refuge in India. Making arrangements for such a large number of people will be a big challenge for India.
