Kolkata Hospital Stops Treating Bangladeshi Patients Over Alleged Anti-Hindu Violence

The decision follows attacks on Hindu temples in Bangladesh and reported insults to the Indian flag by Bangladeshi nationals.

JN Ray Hospital in Kolkata announced it will no longer admit Bangladeshi patients indefinitely, citing alleged anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh and disrespect toward the Indian flag.
The hospital's statement called the move a protest against atrocities on minorities in Bangladesh and urged other Indian hospitals to take similar action.
In Bangladesh’s Chattogram, three Hindu temples were vandalized by a mob of hundreds following Juma prayers, escalating tensions in the region.
The attacks in Chattogram coincided with the arrest of Chinmoy Krishna Das, a former ISKCON member, on sedition charges, which sparked protests by the Hindu community in Bangladesh.
India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar expressed concern over the violence, urging Bangladesh to ensure the safety of its minority communities.
