New Delhi, Jan 7 (UNI) Businessman Robert Vadra on Wednesday strongly condemned the continuing atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh, saying that “political instability or governmental failures” can never justify violence or persecution of a community.
“Whatever political instability, governmental failures, or shifts in ideology may be unfolding there, they can never justify violence or persecution of a community,” he said.
Expressing concern over the deteriorating situation, Vadra said such acts are “completely unacceptable” and stressed that no Indian, and “especially no Hindu,” should be made to suffer the consequences of another country’s internal turmoil.
“Human rights and the safety of minorities must never become collateral damage of political disorder,” he added.
His remarks come amid a fresh escalation of violence against Hindus in Bangladesh, where two more members of the community were killed in separate incidents, taking the death toll to at least six over the past 18 days. The killings have heightened fears among minorities and drawn international attention.
The recent incidents have further strained already tense relations between India and Bangladesh, with both countries suspending visa services in several cities and summoning each other’s high commissioners to raise security concerns.
