Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi questioned the government about potential foreign involvement in Bangladesh’s recent political upheaval. At an all-party meeting, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar stated India is in contact with Bangladesh’s army and its citizens there. The government is assessing the evolving situation, prioritizing the safety of minorities, and monitoring Indian nationals in Bangladesh.
