‘Disturbing’: Priyanka Gandhi voices concern over Bangladesh’s religious violence, seeks urgent action | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday expressed her concern regarding the ongoing attacks on minority communities in Bangladesh. She emphasised that any form of discrimination, violence, or attacks based on religion, caste, language, or identity is unacceptable in a civilized society.
In a post on X, Priyanka Gandhi said, “The news of continuous attacks on minorities in neighbouring Bangladesh is disturbing.Discrimination, violence and attacks on the basis of religion, caste, language or identity are unacceptable in any civilised society.”
She hoped that the situation in Bangladesh would normalize soon and that the interim government would take necessary measures to ensure the safety and respect of people following the Hindu, Christian, and Buddhist faiths.

Mohammad Yunus, Bangladesh’s interim leader, recently condemned the attacks on minority communities, labelling them as “heinous.” He urged the youth to protect all Hindu, Christian, and Buddhist families from harm.
According to community leaders in Dhaka, several Hindu temples, households, and businesses were vandalised, women were assaulted, and at least two Hindu leaders affiliated with Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League party were killed in the violence that erupted in Bangladesh following her departure from the country.
The death toll in Bangladesh has reached 560 since the anti-quota protests began in mid-July, with more than 230 people losing their lives in the recent incidents of violence that spread across the country after the fall of the Hasina government last week.
