JN Ray Hospital in Kolkata stops treating Bangladeshi patients due to anti-India protests and violence against Hindus.

A hospital in Agartala, Tripura has refused to treat patients from Bangladesh in light of atrocities against minority Hindus in Bangladesh. The stand from the Tripura hospital came just a day after a hospital in Kolkata took similar position.

Kolkata’s JN Ray Hospital has decided to refuse treatment to Bangladeshi patients following incidents of violence against Hindus and arrest of priest Chinmoy Krishna Das.

Two leading hospitals in India have decided to stop treating patients from Bangladesh. The decision comes after alleged incidents of disrespect to the Indian flag in Bangladesh. Kolkata 's JN Ray Hospital was the first to announce the decision on Friday,

Subhranshu Bhakta, the hospital's director, explained that while medical care is a noble profession, the dignity of the nation takes precedence.

This decision coincided with India's call for a "fair and transparent trial" for Hindu monk Chinmoy Krishna Das, who was recently arrested on treason charges in Bangladesh. On Friday, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal expressed India's concerns over attacks on Hindus and other minority communities in Bangladesh.

The hospital official urged other city hospitals to follow the same step as a sign of protest against the alleged atrocities on minorities in Bangladesh.

An official of the JN Ray Hospital in north Kolkata said the decision was forced by insults meted out to the Indian flag by Bangladeshi nationals.

The director of J N Roy Hospital in Maniktala said that the hospital has decided to stop providing all medical services to patients from Bangladesh for now.
