NEW DELHI: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday that there have been no attempts by Hindus to enter India from Bangladesh since the neighboring country faced instability.
According to Biswa, Hindus are remaining and resisting in Bangladesh. “In the past month, not a single Hindu has been detected trying to cross into India,” he said at a press conference, as reported by PTI.However, the Assam CM mentioned that Muslims from Bangladesh have been attempting to enter India to find employment in the textile sector.
According to the Assam CM, 35 Muslim infiltrators have been arrested in the past month and they are trying to enter, but their destination is not Assam; instead, they are heading to Bangalore, Tamil Nadu, and Coimbatore for work in the textile industry.
He added that they have asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to press the Bangladeshi government to ensure the safety of Hindus.
Since former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina’s resignation on August 5, the neighbouring country has seen a rise in violence against its minority Hindu community. Hundreds of Hindu homes, businesses, and temples have been vandalised, and families have been threatened, as reported by Reuters and other agencies.
Nobel-winning economist Muhammad Yunus is currently leading the Bangladesh’s interim government after Hasina’s resignation.
