Tharoor voices worry over Bangladesh unrest
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor is speaking out about growing unrest in Bangladesh, especially after the tragic lynching of Dipu Chandra Das, a Hindu garment worker accused of making offensive remarks.
With Bangladesh's elections set for February 2026, Tharoor stressed that keeping things peaceful and stable between India and Bangladesh is crucial for the region.

Tharoor also called out attacks on major newspapers like Prothom Alo and The Daily Star, saying press freedom is under threat and journalists' safety—like Mahfuz Anam's—is a real concern.
Things have gotten tense enough that Indian visa services in parts of Bangladesh are now suspended.
Meanwhile, India's Parliamentary Committee wants both countries to keep talking things out to avoid more trouble.
