Attacks on Hindus linked to SIR, says Hanumantha Rao
Meanwhile, senior Telangana Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao linked the developments in Bangladesh to India’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.
Speaking to a news agency, Hanumantha Rao questioned who was responsible for the unrest. He alleged that the SIR process had led to tensions spilling across the border. Moreover, he claimed that two individuals were fuelling the situation for political gain.
He urged the public to consider how long such developments would continue. At the same time, he rejected claims that projected India as a Hindu nation. Instead, he stressed that India remained a secular country.
His remarks came amid growing political debate over regional stability. They also followed rising concern over the safety of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh.
