Dhankhar Criticizes Global Silence on Hindu Persecution
Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar has voiced concerns about human rights violations against Hindus in neighboring countries, criticizing global silence and denouncing 'so-called moral preachers' as mercenaries against human rights. He emphasized the need for a 'counter-attack' against forces attempting to portray India negatively and criticized international indexes that rank India poorly, such as the hunger index. Dhankhar highlighted historical events such as India's Partition and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots as reminders of liberty’s fragility, while asserting that India has made significant progress in human rights. He condemned the use of human rights as a tool of foreign policy, arguing that naming and shaming is a degraded form of diplomacy. The Vice-President also defended India's record on minority rights, citing the Citizenship Amendment Act as a gesture of social magnanimity. His remarks come amid recent incidents of violence against Hindu temples in Bangladesh, which the Indian government has condemned.
