Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray has called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide clarity in Parliament regarding the steps India is taking to protect the Hindu community in Bangladesh. Thackeray’s remarks come amid growing concerns over the safety of Hindus in the neighboring country, where reports of violence against religious minorities have surfaced in recent months.
In a statement, Thackeray emphasized the need for the Indian government to take a proactive stance in addressing the rising persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh. He expressed his concern over the increasing attacks on temples, homes, and places of worship of the Hindu community, urging that these issues be raised in the Indian Parliament for public awareness and government action.
“The Prime Minister should clearly state in Parliament what measures India is taking to ensure the safety of Hindus in Bangladesh. It is a matter of grave concern that our neighboring country is witnessing growing violence against its Hindu minority,” Thackeray said in his statement.
The demand for action comes in the wake of several incidents of violence targeting Hindus, including attacks on religious sites, which have raised alarm among both Indian and international human rights organizations. The Indian government has faced increasing pressure from various political parties and social organizations to address the situation and safeguard the rights of the Hindu community in Bangladesh.
Thackeray’s call reflects a growing sentiment among sections of the Indian political class that the safety and well-being of Hindus abroad, especially in neighboring countries, should be a priority for the Indian government. The Shiv Sena leader’s comments also point to a broader debate over India’s role in addressing religious intolerance in the region.
As the situation continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how the Indian government will respond to Thackeray’s call and what steps will be taken to ensure the protection of Hindus in Bangladesh.
