"International powers have surrounded us. Bangladesh incident is yet another testimony of the foreign plot. Bangladesh has been our friend for long but the power shift has changed everything. This is a matter of great concern for all of us,” Ranaut told mediapersons.

The first-time Parliamentarian also lauded the rich Sanatani tradition of the country and said that disturbing trends across the world, mostly in Islamic Republics, only underline the need for strengthening the roots of Sanatan Dharma.
