GUWAHATI:
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the rising attacks on minority Hindus in Bangladesh were a matter of deep concern and called for extending moral support to the community in the neighbouring country.
“What is happening in Bangladesh is deeply worrying for us. As the incidents of attacks on the Hindus may have their effects in Assam, we will have to remain cautious and monitor the situation,” he told journalists on Tuesday (January 6, 2026).
He said the worsening situation in Bangladesh and evidence of growing jihadist activities in Assam over the last 10 years pointed to a security threat unless the geopolitical situation in the neighbourhood improves.
