Imran Masood Defends Priyanka Gandhi's Stance on Violence Against Minorities in Bangladesh

Imran Masood's Strong Defense of Priyanka Gandhi

On Tuesday, Congress MP Imran Masood expressed that if Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were to become Prime Minister, she would respond firmly, similar to her grandmother, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He was defending Priyanka Gandhi's remarks regarding the escalating violence against religious minorities in Bangladesh. Speaking to a news outlet, Masood stated, "Is Priyanka Gandhi the Prime Minister? Make her Prime Minister and see how she retaliates like Indira Gandhi. She is Priyanka Gandhi, and her last name carries weight. As Indira Gandhi's granddaughter, she has the potential to inflict significant damage on Pakistan, wounds that remain unhealed. You wouldn't dare to make her Prime Minister and witness her response."

Priyanka Gandhi's Call for Action

Recently, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra urged the central government to take note of the rising violence against Hindus, Christians, and Buddhists following the murder of a Hindu youth, Dipu Chandra Das, in Bangladesh. She highlighted the brutal killings of religious minorities in the country. In a social media post, she expressed her concern over the alarming news of the mob killing of Dipu Chandra Das, stating that discrimination, violence, and murder based on religion, caste, or identity are crimes against humanity. She called on the Indian government to address the increasing violence against these minorities in Bangladesh and to raise the issue of their safety with the Bangladeshi authorities.

Bangladesh Authorities Take Action

Meanwhile, Bangladesh's Chief Advisor Mohammad Yunus reported that the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has arrested seven individuals in connection with the murder of a Hindu youth in the Mymensingh district. The victim, Dipu Chandra Das, 27, a textile worker and follower of Sanatan Dharma, was brutally killed on December 18 in the Bhalluka area of Mymensingh. According to police, the motive behind the murder was allegations of blasphemy. The Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, the country's largest minority organization, condemned the murder, labeling it a threat to communal harmony.
