The Trinamool Congress on Saturday lashed out at the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, urging it to play an effective role and not remain a mute spectator to the communal violence in neighbouring Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is currently in grip of anti-Hindu violence as the alleged desecration of the Islamic holy book took place during Durga Puja celebrations of the country’s religious minority community.

Besides vandalising Durga Puja pandals, protesters have also targeted temples, including that of the renowned ISKCON community.
