Bangladesh's Chief Adviser, Muhammad Yunus, has told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the situation in the country has been stabilised and life is returning to normal. Yunus, on the other hand, condemned tales of attacks on minorities as "exaggerated".

Modi voiced concern for the safety of Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh during their first direct discussion since Yunus assumed office on August 8. Yunus, 84, accepted Modi's invitation to attend the Third Voice of the Global South Summit virtually from Dhaka on Saturday, reported PTI.
