Union Minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) Chief Jitan Ram Manjhi criticized the Bangladeshi government for violence against the Hindu community in Bangladesh. He held the interim government responsible for ensuring minority safety, emphasizing that protecting citizens is a government’s primary duty. Manjhi urged Bangladesh to safeguard its Hindu community, similar to how minorities are protected in India.
Manjhi highlighted India’s stance on the issue, expressing deep concern over the situation in Bangladesh. He stated that when a specific community is targeted, it becomes more than an internal matter. The Minister called on the international community to intervene and address the escalating situation. Additionally, Manjhi addressed Bihar’s liquor prohibition policy, raising concerns about its implementation.
The Union Minister acknowledged Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s intentions behind the liquor ban but criticized the enforcement mechanism. Manjhi claimed that the implementation unfairly targets the poor, while the main culprits evade punishment. He stressed that the real test of the ban lies in holding senior officials and the liquor mafia accountable. Manjhi suggested adopting a more practical approach, similar to Gujarat’s model, to prevent harassment of the public while achieving prohibition goals.
