On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a phone conversation with Muhammad Yunus, the chief adviser to Bangladesh's interim government. They discussed the ongoing political crisis in Bangladesh, which resulted in Sheikh Hasina's removal from office.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi detailed the discussion: "Received a telephone call from Professor Muhammad Yunus, @ChiefAdviserGoB. Exchanged views on the prevailing situation. Reiterated India's support for a democratic, stable, peaceful, and progressive Bangladesh. He assured the protection, safety, and security of Hindus and all minorities in Bangladesh."

Modi's statement reflects India's commitment to supporting a stable and democratic Bangladesh while seeking assurances for the welfare of minority communities. The conversation underscores ongoing diplomatic efforts to ensure peace and security in the region during this transitional period.
