There are limitations as to what voluntary organisations can do from here. But we are requesting the (Indian) Government to ensure safety of the Hindus over there. We are confident that the Government will take steps towards it.” To a question about whether Hindus were being targeted in the neighbouring country amid widespread unrest and resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Joshi made it clear that it was so, and news reports about such incidents are coming out.
