The minorities there need our help and I want to go there with my team for their safe future.
Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan said, “The situation in Bangladesh is very worrying. I have received information that there has been a coup there. The Indian media is presenting it in such a way that there is caste discrimination against Hindus there. If this is happening because of religion, then it is very unacceptable. We strongly condemn this. Chishti Sahab and others will also condemn it. If temples are being attacked there, then we oppose it. Our goal is to ensure that no one is discriminated against due to their religion in Bangladesh.”
He further said, “Hindus are being specifically targeted; their temples are being attacked, so I demand from the government that I should be allowed to go to Bangladesh.
