Hundreds of indigenous youth and students protested outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Agartala on Friday. The protest was organised by the Youth TIPRA Federation, one of Tripura’s largest tribal youth groups. Demonstrators objected to remarks by Bangladeshi leader Hasnat Abdullah, who warned of action against India’s northeastern states. Protesters also raised slogans against Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus. Security personnel stopped the crowd from moving closer to the mission. YTF president Suraj Debbarma said the protest was meant to remind Bangladesh of India’s support during the 1971 Liberation War. He urged the central government to strengthen security along the India-Bangladesh border. (PC: NDTV)
