Tension has increased between India and Bangladesh
Relations between the two countries have become further strained in recent weeks following attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh and the arrest of Hindu saint Chinmoy Krishna Das. The issue of protesters forcibly entering the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Agartala, Tripura also affected the relations between the two countries. The neighboring country has seen incidents of violence against Hindus and other minorities, as well as attacks on temples, in the past few weeks. India has expressed deep concern over these incidents.
