Relations between India and Bangladesh became tense

Let us tell you that in August this year, relations between India and Bangladesh have been tense since the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from power and the coming to power of the interim government led by Mohammad Yunus. India continues to express concern over attacks on minorities, especially Hindus, in Bangladesh.

Chinmoy Krishna Das was arrested

The diplomatic row between India and Bangladesh began when Chinmay Krishna Das, a former ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) member and spiritual leader, was arrested in Dhaka on November 25. Das was arrested in a sedition case and later a court refused to grant him bail, following which community members started protests in various places including the capital Dhaka and Chittagong.
