New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday said news of continuous attacks on minorities in neighbouring Bangladesh was disturbing and expressed hope that the government there would ensure the safety of Hindus, Christians and Buddhists.

The Congress general secretary said discrimination, violence and attacks on the basis of religion, caste, language or identity were unacceptable in any civilised society.

“The news of continuous attacks on minorities in neighbouring Bangladesh is disturbing. Discrimination, violence and attacks on the basis of religion, caste, language or identity are unacceptable in any civilised society,” Priyanka Gandhi said in a post on X.

She expressed hope that the situation in Bangladesh would soon become normal and the interim government there would ensure the safety and respect of people following the Hindu, Christian and Buddhist religions.

Bangladesh’s interim leader Mohammad Yunus on Saturday condemned attacks on minority communities in the violence-hit nation, terming them as “heinous”, and urged youngsters to protect all Hindu, Christian and Buddhist families from harm.
