In a recent statement, former U.S. President Donald Trump condemned the alleged violence against religious minorities, especially Hindus, in Bangladesh, following the country’s recent regime change, reportedly supported by the Biden-Harris administration.
The change in political leadership from Sheikh Hasina to an interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus sparked unrest in Bangladesh, with claims of escalating attacks on Hindus, Christians, and other minorities amid ongoing chaos.
Trump’s statement, delivered in the context of Diwali, strongly criticised the current U.S. administration for ignoring global issues impacting Hindu communities, both internationally and domestically.
“It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America,” Trump said, attributing the administration’s lack of action to what he described as a failure in U.S. foreign policy.
Trump further condemned the administration’s handling of international issues from “Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border,” promising a return to “Peace through Strength” under his leadership.
Trump pledged to protect Hindu Americans, criticising what he called the “anti-religion agenda” of the radical left and vowing to prioritise freedom and religious rights.
Reiterating his commitment to U.S.-India relations, Trump praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating his intent to “strengthen our great partnership” with India if re-elected.
Trump asserted that his administration had previously built a robust U.S. economy by cutting taxes, reducing regulations, and supporting domestic energy production, a contrast he drew to Vice President Kamala Harris’s stance on increasing regulations and taxes on small businesses.
Wishing Hindu Americans a “Happy Diwali,” Trump concluded his statement with a message of hope for the victory of “Good over Evil” on the Festival of Lights.
