A senior Bangladeshi official has acknowledged 88 incidents of communal violence against minorities, primarily Hindus, following the ouster of then-premier Sheikh Hasina in August. He also said that 70 people have been arrested in those incidents.

Both India and Bangladesh have acknowledged the need to work closely to dispel the ‘clouds’ lately shrouding the bilateral relationship

Suvendu Adhikari said that if Sheikh Hasina needed to be removed as Prime Minister, it should have happened through elections.

"A total of 88 cases have been filed in incidents related to minorities from August 5 to October 2. The number of cases and arrests is likely to increase as new incidents of violence have also been reported in (northeastern Sunamganj, (central) Gazipur, and other areas," the interim government told the reporters. | OpIndia News
