India dismisses Bangladesh's comments on West Bengal Waqf law violence, urging Dhaka to focus on protecting its own minorities amid rising attacks on Hindus and
India has firmly dismissed recent comments from Bangladesh regarding the violence in West Bengal linked to the Waqf law, calling them "disingenuous" and a distraction from the mistreatment of minorities within Bangladesh itself.
On Thursday, Muhammad Yunus’s press secretary urged India to protect Muslim minorities following clashes in Murshidabad, which left three dead and hundreds injured. In response, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said Dhaka should prioritize the rights of its own minorities rather than issuing "unwarranted" statements.
“This is a thinly veiled effort to deflect attention from the persecution of minorities in Bangladesh, where perpetrators continue to act with impunity,” Jaiswal stated. He criticized Bangladesh for indulging in virtue signaling while minorities face real threats within its borders.
Tensions have surged in Bangladesh since Sheikh Hasina’s exit, with rising attacks on Hindus, including the destruction of temples and arrests of priests.
Meanwhile, violence erupted in Bengal’s border districts during protests over the Waqf Act. A Home Ministry report alleges involvement of Bangladeshi miscreants, prompting political blame-shifting between the BJP and TMC.
