The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) condemned vigilante violence happening in Bangladesh against minorities and said that the matter cannot be brushed aside during a press briefing on Friday.

MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal broke silence on the issue and stated, “The unremitting hostility against minorities in Bangladesh is a matter of great concern. We condemn the recent killing of a Hindu youth in Bangladesh and expect that the perpetrators of the crime will be brought to justice.”

The ministry also spoke about the return of BNP’s Tarique Rahman to Bangladesh and said that India supports free, fair polls in Bangladesh and that Rahman’s return should be seen in that context.
