Salil Tripathi of 'The Caravan' exposes his hypocrisy while trying to silence criticism of anti-Hindu attacks in Bangladesh

Op India  

Salil Tripathi, the contributing editor at the leftist propaganda magazine ‘The Caravan’, had attempted to silence those speaking on the plight of Hindus who are left at the mercy of violent Muslim mobs in Bangladesh. The contributing editor at ‘The Caravan’ thus sought to deviate public discourse over the role of violent Muslim mobs in endangering the lives of Hindus and other religious minorities in Bangladesh. Young Muslims protecting Hindu temples in Bangladesh: pic.twitter.com/5akcwjZLOP — saliltripathi August 5, 2024 Coincidentally, Salil Tripathi was at the forefront of peddling the Islamist narrative of ‘Muslims protecting Hindu temples in Bangladesh’ without highlighting the religious affiliation of the attackers. Ahead of the Durga Puja celebrations, a radical Muslim man named Yasin Mia vandalised the idols of Goddess Durga and other Hindu deities in Gouripur town in the Mymensingh district of Bangladesh on 25th September.
