The Trinamool Congress has expressed deep concern over the ongoing targeting of religious minorities, particularly Hindus, in Bangladesh. On Tuesday, they called upon the central government to request that the United Nations dispatch peacekeeping forces to the country immediately.

During the Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, Sudip Bandyopadhyay highlighted the critical situation facing minorities, noting that they are being subjected to severe violence. He urged India's government to appeal strongly to the UN for intervention.

Bandyopadhyay criticized the government's silence on this urgent issue, particularly given past instances where violence in Bangladesh led to refugee influxes into West Bengal. He urged External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to provide updates on the latest developments.
