India asked Bangladesh to focus on minorities
A day earlier, on Friday, India told Bangladesh to pay attention to the protecting the minorities in West Bengal instead of giving moral teachings.

Along with this, he denied that Bangladesh has a hand in inciting this violence.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said,
We reject the comments made by Bangladesh regarding the incidents in West Bengal. Bangladesh is making such statements, while the criminals who tortured minorities are roaming there.
