Hyderabad: All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday, August 8 urged the Bangladesh authorities to protect the minorities amid unrest.

In a recent X post, Owaisi stressed it was the responsibility of the government to protect its minorities as per international laws. 

“The reports of minorities being attacked in Bangladesh are concerning. The government and authorities of Bangladesh have a duty under international law to protect the life limb and property of minorities. There are also reports that many from the country’s majority community are protecting the homes & places of worship of minority communities. This should be the norm,” read his X post.

Owaisi’s post comes after reports surfaced over several influential right-wing accounts and news channels claiming attacks on Hindus, who are minorities in Bangladesh. It should be noted that none of these reports have been verified so far.
