India has erupted in protest against Bangladesh following a wave of violence that has raised serious concerns over minority safety and regional stability. The unrest was triggered by the killing of student leader Sharif Osman Hadi, a key figure in last year’s anti-Sheikh Hasina uprising, and escalated after a Hindu garment worker, Dipu Chandra Das, was lynched and set on fire over unproven blasphemy allegations. The killing sparked massive demonstrations outside the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi, where security was dramatically tightened with multiple barricades and deployments of police and paramilitary forces.

This explosive verdict comes after months of political turmoil, mass protests, leaked intelligence reports, crackdowns on dissent, and Hasina’s dramatic fall from power.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has placed immediate port restrictions on certain goods imported from Bangladesh. This includes items like ready-made clothes and processed food, which can only enter India through specific seaports. The move follows a directive from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The decision came after Bangladesh’s interim Chief Adviser, Muhammad Yunus, referred to India’s northeastern states as “landlocked” during a speech in China. Indian officials saw this as challenging the region’s connectivity and sovereignty. In response, the government in New Delhi introduced the port restrictions as a corrective step. An official press release confirmed the changes and emphasized the need to protect national interests and maintain regional respect.
