India highlighted a "disturbing pattern" of recurring attacks on Bangladeshi minorities, demanding swift and firm action against communal incidents. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal criticized attributing attacks to personal rivalries or political differences, stating such disregard emboldens perpetrators and deepens minority insecurity. UK MP Priti Patel wrote to British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, expressing alarm over at least six Hindus killed within 18 days. She urged the UK to use its influence for Bangladesh stability and religious freedom protection. Recent violence includes the lynching of factory worker Dipu Chandra Das, murders of grocery shop owner Sarat Chakraborty Mani and journalist Rana Pratap, and Hindu businessman Khokon Chandra Das being stabbed and burned by a mob in Shariatpur district.
