External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has directed the Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka to call on Prime Minister of Bangladesh over safety issues of Hindus living there.

In a tweet, Mrs Swaraj has asked the High Commissioner to convey India’s grave concerns to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The direction comes following attacks on Hindus in the neighbouring country where unidentified miscreants set ablaze houses of some of them and damaged two temples.

Earlier also, India had taken up with Bangladesh the issue of safety and security of the minorities.
