Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has condemned the “barbaric violence” against Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh. The former US President also promised to strengthen the US-India partnership if elected president in the November 5 polls.
Trump made the comment on X, where he also wished the Hindu community on the occasion of Diwali, the festival of lights. “Happy Diwali to All. I hope the Festival of Lights leads to the Victory of Good over Evil!” Trump said. “I strongly condemn the barbaric violence against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities who are getting attacked and looted by mobs in Bangladesh, which remains in a total state of chaos,” he said.

He also attributed the attacks to his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris. “It would have never happened on my watch. Kamala and Joe have ignored Hindus across the world and in America. They have been a disaster from Israel to Ukraine to our own Southern Border, but we will Make America Strong Again and bring back Peace through Strength!
“We will also protect Hindu Americans against the anti-religion agenda of the radical left. We will fight for your freedom. Under my administration, we will also strengthen our great partnership with India and my good friend, Prime Minister Modi,” Trump said.
“Kamala Harris will destroy your small businesses with more regulations and higher taxes. By contrast, I cut taxes, cut regulations, unleashed American energy, and built the greatest economy in history. We will do it again, bigger and better than ever before—and we will Make America Great Again,” he said.
