Security arrangements for the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala was strengthened in the wake of angry protests at the mission compound on Monday by Hindu Sangharsh Samity. Similarly in other parts of the country also security for the Bangladesh missions were beefed up at the face of growing number of protests and visible angers for Hindu persecutions and atrocities in Bangladesh.
After the Monday demonstration the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) also did not waste time and came out with a statement condemning the breach of security of the mission. New Delhi pointed out that diplomatic missions should not be targeted under any circumstances.
“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. Government is taking action to step up security arrangements for the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi and their Deputy/Assistant High Commissions in the country,” read a MEA statement.
Several protest rallies have been held in Tripura over the past few days against atrocities on the minority Hindu community in Bangladesh.
