Agartala mission breached amid protest over Bangladesh

Hindustan Times  

A large group of people protesting the persecution of the Hindu minority in Bangladesh barged into the Bangladesh consulate in Agartala and vandalised it on Monday, prompting New Delhi to describe the breach as “deeply regrettable” and step up security for all of the country’s missions in India. With attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh and the arrest of Bangladeshi monk Chinmoy Krishna Das on sedition charges becoming hot button issues, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention in the matter on Monday and said the Indian government should seek the deployment of UN peacekeepers in Bangladesh. “The incident earlier today of the breach of premises at the Bangladesh assistant high commission in Agartala is deeply regrettable,” the external affairs ministry said in a brief statement. Bangladesh’s foreign ministry said in a statement that it “deeply resents” the “violent demonstration and attack by a large group of protesters of the Hindu Sangharsh Samity” on the mission.
