But the behaviour of some Bangladeshi nationals towards minorities in the neighbouring country is despicable,” the statement said. Earlier, ILS Hospital, a multi-speciality private hospital in Agartala, had announced that it would not treat Bangladeshi patients in protest against atrocities against Hindus in the neighbouring country. “We respect and support the sentiments of protesters. Taking into consideration the incidents in Bangladesh, we have decided to suspend our services for Bangladeshi patients,” ILS Hospital had stated.
