Biden keeps a close eye on the atrocities on Hindus, Yunus’ tension will increase after hearing the White House statement

America is concerned about the attacks on minorities in Bangladesh. US President Joe Biden is closely monitoring the situation in Bangladesh and the US will hold the country’s interim government accountable for ensuring the safety of religious and ethnic minorities. White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said the security situation in Bangladesh has become difficult after the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. “We are working closely with the interim government to enhance the capacity of their law enforcement and security services to respond to the challenge,” Kirby told a news conference.

Hasina was removed as prime minister in August following massive anti-government protests. There have been incidents of violence against Hindus and other minorities as well as attacks on temples in Bangladesh in the past few weeks. He said we have been very clear in our conversations with all Bangladeshi leaders that the protection of religious and ethnic minorities is absolutely critical, and the leaders of the interim government have repeatedly called for providing security to all Bangladeshis, regardless of religion or ethnicity. Have expressed commitment once. Kirby said in response to a question that we want to keep them at that. Over the past few weeks, Indian Americans have held peaceful protests and marches in front of the White House, in several cities including Chicago, New York, SFO, Detroit, Houston and Atlanta, demanding Biden to help stop alleged brutality against the minority. Has been requested.

Earlier in the day, Indian-American Congressman Raja Krishnamurthy addressed the issue of violence against minorities, primarily Hindus, in Bangladesh to members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during the confirmation hearing of Senator Marco Rubio for the post of Secretary of State. Urged to do.
