Tulsi Gabbard commented on Bangladesh: American intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard, who visited India, issued a statement, expressing strong opposition to the violence against minorities in the neighboring country Bangladesh. Due to which Bangladesh has criticized Gabbard. He has described his statement as misleading and damaging the image of the country.
What did Bangladesh say?
The interim government of Bangladesh dismissed Gabbard’s statements, saying that these statements are not only misleading, but also harm the image and reputation of Bangladesh. Traditional Islam in Bangladesh has always been inclusive and peaceful. The country has seen significant progress against extremism and terrorism. Gabbard’s statement is baseless and proofless. He has presented a false image of Bangladesh to the world.
It is necessary to check the facts on sensitive issues
Bangladesh further said, ‘Like other countries, our country is also facing the challenges of extremism. But it has worked with the international community including the United States to adopt law enforcement, social reform and other anti-terrorism measures. We condemn any attempt to connect Bangladesh to ‘Islamic Khilafat’. Gabbard has been advised to check the facts before making a statement on any sensitive issue and think before promoting false rumors.
What did Gabbard say?
Tulsi Gabbard criticized the long -running unfortunate harassment, murders and misconduct towards Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and other minorities in Bangladesh. In addition, the US government, which is committed to combating Islamic terrorism worldwide, and President Donald Trump’s government is concerned over the issue, says that “the threat of Islamic terrorists” in Bangladesh lies in an ideology and purpose that wants to rule with “Islamic Khiladat”. The Trump administration has started talks with the interim government of Bangladesh on this issue. However, the Bangladesh government dismissed the claims that connecting the country with “Islamic Khilafat” would weaken the hard work of Bangladeshis and their global partners for peace, stability and progress.
Bangladesh has not accepted the claim of violence against minorities.
In recent times, incidents of crowd attacks at Hindu temples and religious places in Bangladesh have increased, on which human rights organizations and India have expressed concern. It has come to light that such incidents are happening amidst increasing political instability in Bangladesh after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted from power. But the interim government of Bangladesh is telling all these reports and information false, baseless and rumored. Significantly, during his three -day visit to India, Gabbard discussed violent activities and terrorism issues in India’s neighboring countries, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
