India Alarmed: Diplomats Face Threats in Bangladesh Amid Rising Anti-India Rhetoric

  • India summoned Bangladesh's High Commissioner Riaz Hamidullah to protest deteriorating security for its diplomats.
  • Bangladeshi student leaders, including Mosaddeq Ali Ibn and Rashid Pradhan, led a march towards the Indian High Commission, issuing direct threats.
  • Ali threatened 'axes in their hands' and to 'uproot India's High Commissioner,' while Pradhan warned of entering the mission next time.
  • Indian Visa Application Centre shut operations due to security concerns, as Bangladeshi law enforcement failed to stop agitators near the diplomatic zone.
  • National Citizen Party leader Hasnat Abdullah openly threatened India's northeastern states and called for expelling India's High Commissioner.

Why It Matters: India expresses grave concern over escalating threats and security failures for its diplomats in Bangladesh.
