On Monday, India denounced an incident at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala, Tripura, during demonstrations against the detention of a Hindu monk in Bangladesh.
The incident occurred late on Monday when numerous individuals held a rally near the Bangladeshi embassy, demonstrating against the detention of Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh and also in response to a series of assaults on Hindus in the nearby nation.
According to news agency PTI, about 50 protesters allegedly invaded the premises of the Bangladeshi mission during the demonstrations.
“The incident earlier today of the breach of premises at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala is deeply regrettable. Diplomatic and consular properties should not be targeted under any circumstances,” the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement later in the day.

The ministry stated that the government is implementing measures to enhance security protocols for the High Commission of Bangladesh in Delhi and the various Deputy and Assistant High Commissions throughout the nation.
Previously, the MEA expressed its worries to Bangladesh regarding the targeted assaults on Hindus on November 29, asserting that the rising occurrences of violence against minorities cannot simply be regarded as “media exaggerations”.
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal urged the interim government led by Muhammad Yunus to fulfill its duty of safeguarding all minorities.
“India has persistently and firmly addressed with the Bangladesh government the dangers and focused assaults on Hindus and other minority groups. We are worried about the rise of radical speech. Rising occurrences of violence and provocation cannot simply be regarded as media overstatements. We urge Bangladesh to implement measures for the safeguarding of minorities,” Jaiswal said.
Last week, Bangladesh described India’s accusations as “unfounded,” stating that they do not represent the unity shared by people of all religions in the nation.
