NEW DELHI: The National spokesperson Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), Vinod Bansal took to X and lauded US Presidential candidate Donald Trump for taking up the issue of the atrocities that are being committed by Mohamud Yunus-led government in Bangladesh against the Hindus.
In the statement, Bansal stated, ” Thanks Mr. @realDonaldTrump for raising the voice of oppressed Hindus & other minorities in Bangladesh playing in the hands of Islamic Jihadi forces. In the name of protest, the anarchists first kicked off their own dedicated old-aged lady PM, CJB, minorities and now targeting the President. Why the other World leaders and so-called human rights activists kept mum on genocide of Minorities in the Islamic country? Where the @UNHumanRights is?

Bansal also mention ed in his statemnet that Hindus are the only people in the world who are not just persecuted in some countries captured by Jihadi forces like Bangladesh, Pakistan & Afghanistan, but also face denial of their oppression. You are probably the only Western leader who has ever recognised Hindu persecution in Bangladesh.
The former President also condemned the violence against the Hindus and other minority groups in Bangladesh after the resignation of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He said, “I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos.”

In a bid to strengthen ties with India, Trump also expressed his desire to boost partnership with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whom he referred to as a “good friend.” Sharing a post on X, Trump wrote, “We will also protect Hindu Americans against the anti-religion agenda of the radical left. We will fight for your freedom. Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good friend, Prime Minister Modi.”
Notably, Sheikh Hasina resigned from her post of Prime Minister on August 5 and fled to India in a military aircraft, following mounting protests against the contentious government job quota system that had sparked widespread anti-government demonstrations. Following Hasina’s resignation, a caretaker government was formed in Bangladesh, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.
Trump also criticised President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and said that they have ignored Hindus globally and in the United States. He said, “It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border, but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back Peace through Strength!”
Trump’s criticism also extended to other areas, including economic policies.
