Amid reports of tension in Bangladesh’s Chittagong following provocative social media posts, India on Thursday urged Dhaka to take action against “extremist” elements and ensure the safety of the country’s Hindu community. During a weekly media briefing here, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal condemned the alleged attack on the members of the Hindu community in Chittagong.

The tension was the result of “incendiary posts” on social media, he said. “We have seen many videos circulating on social media. It is condemnable,” Jaiswal said. The MEA spokesperson underlined that it is Dhaka’s “special responsibility” that the minorities be given security.
