No protests for Bangladeshi Hindus a matter of concern: Kangana Ranuat

India Today  

BJP MP Kangana Ranaut expressed concern over the plight of minority communities, including Hindus in Bangladesh. "There are no protests against atrocities faced by Hindus in Bangladesh here, there is no campaign on social media like all eyes on Bangladesh," she said. The Ministry of External Affairs on Friday criticised Bangladesh for the rising targeted attacks on Hindus, asserting that the increasing violence against minorities cannot be dismissed as "media exaggerations." The minority Hindu community, which makes up about 8 per cent of Bangladesh’s 170 million population, has endured over 200 attacks since the fall of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s Awami League government on August 5.
