India on Monday regretted the ”breach of premises” at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala by demonstrators who protested against the persecution of Hindu minorities in the neighbouring country and the detention of ISKCON leader Chinmoy Das Prabhu.
”Diplomatic and consular properties should not be targeted under any circumstances. The government is taking action to step up security arrangements for the Bangladesh High Commission in New Delhi and their Deputy/Assistant High Commissions in the country,” the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.
