Jaipur: Giving a blunt reply to those who are anticipating Bangladesh-like situation in India, the Union Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said that this is not Bangladesh, this is Modi ji's India.

Statement Of Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat

"It is unfortunate to talk that India will become Bangladesh. Some people have made such comments and talking of replicating this template in India. They probably don't know that this is not Bangladesh, this is India, and Modi ji's India. Those who would do this should understand what would happen to them,” said the minister to the media in Jodhpur on Saturday. 

Shekhawat said that whatever happened in Bangladesh was unexpected and unacceptable, but the Indian government is constantly keeping an eye on it. The situation should improve there, once law and order is back on track. The whole world is watching this with great seriousness.
