Jaishankar spoke about how the issue had panned out in Bangladesh and the prevailing situation in the country. He also spoke about how Sheikh Hasina had moved to India and said that India would take care of the Bangladeshi leader, sources from the all-party meeting told ANI.
Jaishankar further informed the parties that the Indian government wants to give her time to let the Indian government know what her future course of action would be.
Taking to X, S Jaishankar stated, "Briefed an All-Party meeting in Parliament today about the ongoing developments in Bangladesh. Appreciate the unanimous support and understanding that was extended."
During the meeting, Jaishankar told the leaders that the central government was in touch with the Bangladesh Army as well. He said that it is a prevailing situation and the government will take appropriate action at the right time, according to sources.
According to sources, the leaders in the party meeting were informed that there are 20000 Indian nationals in the country. According to sources, so far 8000 Indian nationals have come back.

Bangladesh is facing a fluid political situation as of now with Sheikh Hasina resigning from her post in the wake of mounting protests.
The protests, majorly by students demanding an end to a quota system for government jobs, took the shape of anti-government protests.
