India and Bangladesh Hold Talks to Address Rising Tensions

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri meets Bangladeshi officials to discuss minority safety, strained relations, and diplomatic incidents following political upheaval.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri visited Dhaka for the first high-level talks since the ousting of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August.
Discussions focused on India's concerns over attacks on minority Hindus in Bangladesh and the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das on sedition charges.
Bangladesh's interim government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, accused India of exaggerating violence and interfering in its internal affairs.
The talks also addressed recent incidents, including attacks on diplomatic properties in both countries and protests by Hindu and Bangladeshi nationalist groups.
Both sides emphasized the importance of maintaining a constructive and mutually beneficial relationship, despite ongoing tensions and political sensitivities.
