‘You Talk Big On Gaza, But…’: Anurag Thakur Slams Rahul Gandhi, Congress Over Silence On Minorities In Bangladesh

BJP MP Anurag Thakur on Friday accused Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party of failing to address the safety of Hindus and other minority communities in Bangladesh

“Unfortunately, the Leader of the Opposition (Rahul Gandhi) and the Congress party, in their tweets congratulating the interim Bangladeshi government, did not raise the issue of Hindu or minority protection in Bangladesh,” he remarked, during the Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha.

The former union minister criticised the Congress for not mentioning minority protection in their congratulatory messages to the newly formed interim government in Bangladesh.

“What is their reluctance to address the issue of Hindu minorities?” Thakur questioned. “They speak out on violence in Gaza, yet remain silent on the atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh.”

Thakur noted that, despite this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his congratulatory message to Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, emphasised the need to ensure the safety of minorities.
