Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has expressed deep concern over the recent lynching of a Hindu man in Bangladesh, calling it an 'unbearably tragic' incident. The 27-year-old victim, Dipu Chandra Das, was attacked by a mob in the Mymensingh district. The incident has sparked widespread unrest in Bangladesh, with protests and attacks on Indian missions and media outlets. Tharoor slammed the violence, saying 'mob rule should not prevail.' He also questioned the interim government's response to the incident, asking what steps they are taking to prevent similar incidents in the future. The Rapid Action Battalion has arrested seven individuals in connection with the lynching. The Bangladesh government has condemned the incident and vowed to punish those involved. Tharoor, however, wants to see more action to ensure that such incidents do not recur. The lynching took place amid a backdrop of unrest in Bangladesh, following the death of a youth leader last year. Tharoor has expressed concern over the rising tensions and has urged for peaceful resolution. 'We want democracy to return to Bangladesh, but the situation is concerning,' he said. Tharoor's comments come ahead of the upcoming elections in Bangladesh, which are scheduled to take place in February. He has also expressed concern over the rise of anti-India sentiments in the country, with some elements calling for the separation of seven states from India.
