Congress leader Rashid Alvi condemned violence against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh, holding the Bangladesh government responsible. He also stated that minority communities in India face similar atrocities, suggesting Indian government statements would be ineffective. Party colleague Salman Khurshid disagreed with comparisons, stating all atrocities are unacceptable. Alka Lamba emphasized the duty to protect minorities in both countries. These remarks follow targeted violence against Hindus in Bangladesh ahead of elections, including recent lynchings.
