Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha has said that Bangladesh would suffer if corrective actions are not taken by the interim government.
Saha has warned that Bangladesh would face consequences if its interim government does not take corrective measures regarding its governance and the treatment of minorities, reports Deccan Herald.
Speaking at the Sharad Shamman award function in Rabindra Bhaban at Agartola, Saha urged the people to rise up in protest against the incidents of attacks on minorities in Bangladesh.
"The way things are going on in Bangladesh is not acceptable, those in power in the neighbouring country have forgotten the past and trying to rewrite history," he remarks.
"Our central leadership is observing the situation in the neighbouring country. The government, which is functioning in such a way, can't be tolerated to run the show. There will be no opportunity for repentance if they don't take corrective steps," he said.
"We are celebrating Durga Puja here while idols of Goddess Durga and Goddess Kali are being desecrated in Bangladesh. It's time to be united and raise voice against such atrocities in the neighbouring country," he said.
"The current situation in Bangladesh is unacceptable," he said. "The people of Tripura played a significant role in the 1971 Liberation War alongside the Indian Army to help create Bangladesh."
"A government operating in such a manner cannot be allowed to continue unchecked," he said. "If corrective measures are not taken promptly, there will be no opportunity for repentance."
Saha urged people to unite and raise their voices against what he termed as "atrocities" in Bangladesh, specifically referring to the desecration of religious idols.
The Tripura chief minister's remarks underscore growing concerns in India about developments in its neighbouring country, particularly regarding the treatment of minority communities.
