The Indian government is taking steps to help the economy achieve the FY25 GDP growth target of 6.5%-7%, the country's economic affairs secretary said on Monday.

India's potential GDP growth rate lies in the range of 6.5–7%, a target that is achievable due to extensive reforms implemented over the past decade, Chief Economic Advisor (CEA) V Anantha Nageswaran said on Monday.

But religious tensions are not new to the region and activists on both sides are worried that if inflammatory speeches and protests continue, the situation could spiral out of control. Hasina’s stay in India has already become a major irritant in bilateral ties and the escalating protests in both countries are likely to deteriorate the atmosphere.

Tensions are high between India and Bangladesh after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government and her fleeing to India. Bangladeshis protested an attack on a consulate in India a day earlier, amid a Hindu leader's trial.

Bangladesh has summoned India's High Commissioner, Pranoy Varma, following protests and vandalism at its Agartala mission.
