India has lodged a formal protest with Bangladesh over a now-deleted Facebook post by Mahfuj Alam, an aide to Muhammad Yunus. Alam suggested India should acknowledge the uprising that led to Sheikh Hasina's resignation as Prime Minister. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) emphasized caution in public discourse and reiterated its commitment to strengthening ties with Bangladesh. The protest comes amidst rising violence against minorities, with 2,200 incidents reported in Bangladesh in 2024, including attacks on Hindu temples. The MEA urged Bangladesh and Pakistan to ensure the safety and security of Hindus in their respective countries.
