Assam CM Criticizes Congress Over Silence on Hindu 'Attacks' in Bangladesh, Highlights Diplomatic Solutions

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma criticized the Congress for its silence on attacks against Hindus in Bangladesh, focusing instead on Gaza. Highlighting the dire situation in Bangladesh, he stressed the need for diplomatic channels and stated the Hindu population has significantly declined in the region.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday accused the Congress of ignoring attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh while focusing on Gaza. Sarma, who is also BJP's election co-incharge for Jharkhand, attended a party meeting in Ranchi ahead of the Assembly elections.

Addressing the media at Birsa Munda airport, Sarma underscored the severe instability in Bangladesh and voiced confidence in the central government's diplomatic efforts to address the crisis. ''Right now, the situation is very bad there,'' he said.

Sarma criticized Congress for supporting global Muslim issues but neglecting Hindus in Bangladesh. He noted the decline in Hindu populations in regions bordering Bangladesh, emphasizing that border crossings are not a solution and advocating for diplomatic intervention for their security.
