BJP MPs Criticize Opposition's Silence on Bangladesh Violence

BJP MPs have criticized opposition parties, particularly Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, for their silence regarding the recent violence against Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh, which has escalated following Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's resignation amid protests. During a Lok Sabha session, BJP MP Anurag Thakur pointed out that while Modi congratulated the new interim government, he urged them to ensure minority safety, a sentiment he felt was missing from the opposition's discourse. Multiple Hindu temples have reportedly been vandalized, including attacks on statues of Lord Jagannath, prompting calls from BJP MPs like Rudra Narayan Pany for the Indian government to intervene and protect the minority communities. Dilip Saikia emphasized the need for enhanced security along the India-Bangladesh border to safeguard these communities. The BJP claims that the opposition's lack of response reflects an indifference to the plight of Hindus in Bangladesh, further criticizing leaders for addressing other international issues while ignoring this crisis. Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has recently taken over as the head of the interim government in Bangladesh, which adds complexity to the ongoing situation.
