Bangladesh Unrest: Indian students narrate worrying situation as they return home with BSF’s help

Amid the ongoing protests in Bangladesh, train services from India and Bangladesh have been halted indefinitely. As Bangladesh is going through a curfew, internet, as well as transport services have stopped, causing difficulties for both Bangladeshis and Indians. As the situation worsens in Bangladesh, services of the Bandhan Express and Dhaka-Kolkata Maitree Express have been stopped by the Eastern Railways. Many Indian students studying in Bangladesh, have been transferred to India through the Agartala ICP in Tripura. The BSF and Bangladesh officials assured that the students, mainly studying medicine in Bangladesh returned to India safely. Amid the heightened protests, the WB police deployed tight security outside the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata. The riots in the neighbouring country started weeks ago and escalated this week, leaving dozens dead as students started revolting against the return of job quota.

Foreign policy of Indian government, especially Modi government is really good!

Bangladesh urgently needs reform, including freedom from the influence of the two dominant families (minus two model) and a limit of two terms for anyone serving as head of state. Kader/Kamal & Saddam must be brought to justice!

Hasina government has to take the responsibility for this as Hasina’s peaceful agitation by the National Law Enforcement Forces along with the terrorists of his party has so far shot dead more than 190 ordinary students and injured ten thousands of ordinary students, shutting down network services across the country, hospitals The injured are not receiving treatment, so the fall of Hasina's government is the only demand of the ordinary students, because the dead or injured students standing in blood will not discuss with, Hasina.One-sided demand of ordinary students is resignation of Hasina government
