“The rights of its minority groups should be protected”: India’s violent rhetoric attack on Bangladesh | Indian News
India slams Bangladesh, rejecting Dhaka’s statement about the violence attack on Moshidabad, West Bengal. MEA spokesman Randhir Jaiswal asked Dhaka to take care of minorities and ensure their protection on Friday.
Jaiswal responded to comments from Bangladesh officials on West Bengal development that India rejected their comments.
“We reject the comments from Bangladesh about the incident in West Bengal. This is a disguised and invisible attempt to be similar to India’s persecution of the continued persecution of minorities in Bangladesh, where criminals of such acts continue to roam,” a Meya spokesman said. ”
Jaswar also said Bangladesh should focus on protecting the rights of its minority groups rather than making “unfounded comments”.
He added: “Bangladesh is not making unnecessary comments and indulging in the signals of virtue, but is better focused on protecting the rights of its own minority groups.”
