Saha also condemned the attacks on people, particularly the Hindu minority, in Bangladesh.
He noted, “Such incidents are unacceptable. However, it is heartening to see members of the Muslim community in Bangladesh stepping up to protect minority Hindus and temples. Students are also contributing to these efforts. This is a positive development. We are closely monitoring the situation in Bangladesh.”
