The meeting, attended by key ministers including Home Minister Amit Shah and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, focused on the recent developments following the resignation of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the subsequent military takeover.<\/p>\n<p>Sheikh Hasina, who had been ruling Bangladesh since 2009, fled the country amidst widespread protests against her government\u2019s controversial quota policy. She made a brief stopover in India, where she met with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval at Hindon Airport, before continuing her journey to London, reportedly seeking asylum in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>The situation in Bangladesh has rapidly deteriorated, with Bangladesh Army Chief General Waqar-uz-Zaman announcing a military takeover to restore law and order. The country has witnessed violent protests resulting in over 100 deaths in the past two days.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the crisis, India has heightened security measures. A night curfew has been imposed along the Meghalaya international border adjoining Bangladesh in the wake of the violent protests and political turmoil in the neighbouring country.<\/p>\n<p>The Border Security Force (BSF) has issued an alert along the Indo-Bangladesh border and increased troop deployment. BSF Director General Daljit Singh Chaudhary, along with other senior officials, visited the border areas in West Bengal to review operational preparedness.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian government is closely monitoring the situation, with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar briefing both Prime Minister Modi and Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi on the developments. Security has also been increased at the Bangladesh High Commission in Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka has been closed, reportedly to prevent chaos as many citizens attempt to leave the country following Hasina\u2019s resignation. The closure highlights the growing instability in Bangladesh as the nation grapples with this sudden political upheaval.<\/p>\n<p>As the crisis unfolds, India\u2019s response and its potential impact on regional stability remain crucial factors in the evolving situation in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened an urgent meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) at his residence in Delhi to address the unfolding crisis in Bangladesh.
