India raised 334 minority violence cases in Pakistan and 3,582 with Bangladesh in past four years
Indian minister of state for external affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh has informed the Rajya Sabha that the Centre has formally raised 334 major incidents of violence and atrocities against religious minorities with Pakistan and another 3,582 cases of violence against Hindus and other minorities with Bangladesh over the past four years.
In a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Singh was quoted as saying by ANI: "With regard to Pakistan, since 2021, the government of India has raised at least 334 major incidents with the government of Pakistan, urging it to discharge its constitutional obligations towards its citizens, including those from minority communities, and to end sectarian violence, extreme prejudices and religious intolerance."
Bangladesh has witnessed a spike in attacks on Hindus ever since the former PM Sheikh Hasina-led government was ousted from power on August 5, 2024 amid severe protests against her government.
Recently, Bangladesh marked its first anniversary of Hasina's ouster a few days back.
Several Hindu houses, temples and shops were vandalised during the period.
After Awami League was removed from power, the political outfit, led by Hasina, has been banned from contesting polls.
