Protest against PM Modi in Bangladesh, 20 injured

Dhaka, Ta. 26. Friday, March, 2021

India-Bangladesh relations have been strained for some time now. Today, PM Modi arrived in Bangladesh at the invitation of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. However, despite all the help India has given to Bangladesh, a group is opposing PM Modi's visit.

Today, PM Modi arrived in Bangladesh with more than 1 million doses of vaccine. India has given the highest dose of corona vaccine to Bangladesh. However, 20 people were injured in violent protests against PM Modi at Dhaka University on Thursday. They landed and were chanting anti-India as well as anti-Modi slogans. Police have also detained 40 people.

The question is, why is PM Modi being opposed ... who are the protesters ... Experts say that under the Progressive Student Alliance, leftist student unions were opposing PM Modi. They say that PM Modi has provoked religious tensions. Students protesting on the other hand alleged that the attack was carried out by the pro-government student organization Bangladesh Student League.

However, amidst the protests, there is also the fact that India has always been with Bangladesh since its independence. India has also supplied 32 lakh doses of vaccine for corona to Bangladesh.
