West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee appealed to the people of the state to maintain peace amid the ongoing unrest and the change of guard in Bangladesh. She said the West Bengal government will support the decision taken by the Narendra Modi government at the Centre in this regard.
"I appeal to the people of Bengal to maintain peace. Do not pay attention to any rumors. This is a matter between two countries, we will support whatever decision the central government takes," Mamata Banerjee said.
Her statement came as reports suggest that Sheikh Hasina, who quit as the Bangladeshi Prime Minister on Monday, landed in Agartala in Tripura following massive protests in her country.
India shares a 4,096.7 km-long border with Bangladesh. It is the longest border India shares with any other neighboring country. Bangladesh has been witnessing a month-long protest which turned violent last month. At least 300 people have died in the anti-government protest so far.
