Ranchi: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma exuded confidence on Saturday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will resolve issues with the Bangladesh government through diplomatic channels. Speaking to the media, Sarma criticised the Congress party, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, for their stance on Hindus in Bangladesh. He accused the Congress of supporting Muslims in conflict zones worldwide while ignoring the plight of Hindus, especially in Bangladesh.
Sarma, who is on a Jharkhand visit, pointed out that Priyanka Gandhi had tweeted multiple times about the Palestine-Gaza situation and that the Congress had even staged protests. However, he claimed that despite Hindu minorities facing problems in Bangladesh due to the crisis in that country, the Congress has kept mum. He accused the party of trying to divide Hindus based on caste.
Commenting on the situation at the Bangladesh border, Sarma noted, “The situation is very bad. The Indian government has not yet issued orders to allow entry to those stranded at the border. Bringing around two crore people to India is not feasible, so the solution lies in ensuring security for Hindu minorities in Bangladesh through diplomatic efforts.”
