New Delhi, 10^th August. In a shocking display of silence, prominent political figures and parties across Bharat have not tweeted a single word about the recent tragic killings of Bangladeshi Hindus. The complete lack of response from these leaders and parties stands in stark contrast to their vocal presence on international issues, particularly their numerous tweets condemning the deaths of terrorists in Gaza.

Zero Bharatiya Politician’s Tweets on Bangladeshi Hindu Killings

As reports emerged of brutal attacks on Hindu families in Bangladesh, many expected a strong outcry from political leaders in Bharat, a country with deep historical and cultural ties to the Hindu community in Bangladesh. However, the response has been nothing short of startling. Here’s the tally of tweets addressing the situation:

• Trinamool Congress (TMC): 0 tweets
• DMK: 0 tweets
• Aam Aadmi Party (AAP): 0 tweets
• Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP): 0 tweets
• Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD): 0 tweets
• All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM): 0 tweets
• Communist Party of India (CPI): 0 tweets
• Indian National Congress: 0 tweets
• Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction): 0 tweets
• Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction): 0 tweets
• Samajwadi Party: 0 tweets
• Rahul Gandhi: 0 tweets
• Asaduddin Owaisi: 0 tweets
• Priyanka Gandhi Vadra: 0 tweets
• Sanjay Singh (AAP): 0 tweets
• Uddhav Thackeray: 0 tweets
• Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena Uddhav faction): 0 tweets
• Tejashwi Yadav: 0 tweets
• Mamata Banerjee: 0 tweets
• Akhilesh Yadav: 0 tweets
• Mallikarjun Kharge: 0 tweets

The Contrast with Gaza

This silence becomes even more pronounced when compared to their reactions to the Gaza conflict. Many of these leaders were quick to express their condolences and outrage over the deaths of terrorists in Gaza, tweeting multiple times to condemn the violence and loss of life. The selective outrage is drawing criticism from various quarters, especially from those who feel that the plight of Hindus in Bangladesh is being ignored.

A Stark Silence

The complete absence of any public statement or tweet on the killings of Bangladeshi Hindus raises critical questions about the priorities and motivations of these political leaders and parties. While international issues certainly deserve attention, the lack of concern for the safety and rights of Hindus in a neighboring country with historical ties to Bharat is troubling.

As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether these leaders will eventually break their silence or continue to ignore the growing crisis. For now, their inaction speaks volumes.

Conclusion

The silence from key political figures and parties on the tragic killings of Bangladeshi Hindus is not just a glaring omission—it is a telling reflection of their selective outrage. In a time when the protection of vulnerable communities should be a universal concern, this lack of response highlights a troubling inconsistency in their approach to human rights issues. As these leaders remain vocal about international matters, their failure to address the suffering of a community so closely connected to Bharat’s own history and identity raises serious questions about their commitment to justice and equity. The selective compassion displayed here is a disservice not only to the victims in Bangladesh but also to the values these leaders claim to uphold.
