Amid the ongoing political crisis in Bangladesh, violence and protests continue to escalate, raising concerns in neighboring India. The deteriorating situation, especially following attacks on Hindus, has prompted controversial remarks from Congress leaders Salman Khurshid and Sajjan Singh Verma, who warn that a similar scenario could unfold in India.On Tuesday, Congress leader Salman Khurshid issued a stark warning that India could experience violent protests similar to those in Bangladesh. Speaking at a book launch event, Khurshid said, Everything may seem normal in Kashmir, and it may appear normal here as well. We may be celebrating a victory, but some believe that the 2024 win was very narrow and that much more needs to be done. The truth is that something is simmering beneath the surface. He further cautioned, What is happening in Bangladesh could happen here as well. Our country is so large that we may not see a situation like in Bangladesh, but we must remain vigilant.Regret over Shaheen Bagh protesters imprisonmentKhurshid also expressed regret over the imprisonment of protesters from the Shaheen Bagh demonstrations, which were led by Muslim women against the CAA-NRC laws. He described the 100-day movement as unsuccessful because many participants remain incarcerated. A protest like Shaheen Bagh cannot happen in the country today, he lamented.Sajjan Singh Vermas statementSenior Congress leader and former minister Sajjan Singh Verma weighed in on the situation, drawing parallels with recent events in Bangladesh. The events of the past two days in Bangladesh, where the public stormed the Prime Ministers residence due to bad policies, should be a warning, Verma said. He cautioned Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating, Remember, Narendra Modi, that the public, which is currently agitated on the streets, could storm your residence due to bad policies. If this situation continues, India could be next. The public will no longer tolerate corruption. If BJP members engage in corruption, the agitated public might storm the Mayors house and even Kailash Vijayvargiyas residence. Corruption will no longer be tolerated.Political crisis in BangladeshBangladesh is currently experiencing significant political instability. Amid escalating protests, Sheikh Hasina resigned from her position on August 5. The protests, initially led by students demanding the end of the quota system for government jobs, have now evolved into widespread anti-government demonstrations.
