The US has called on Bangladesh to protect minority Hindus following reports of violence and attacks on temples. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with Bangladesh’s interim leader Muhammad Yunus, urging respect for all faiths and human rights. Advocacy groups report brutal incidents, including killings, assaults, and temple destruction. HinduAction criticised Yunus for failing to control extremists. Congressman Shri Thanedar asked the Biden administration to address these issues strongly. The White House promised accountability for protecting minorities. Sullivan reaffirmed US support for a democratic Bangladesh. The violence follows the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s government, with global concern growing.
