BJP Leader Rajat Bhardwaj Mukherjee Expresses Concern for Hindu Minorities Amid Bangladesh Power Shift

Rajat Bhardwaj Mukherjee, a prominent figure in the Bengal unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party and head of its foreign affairs division, has voiced concern over the safety of minority communities—particularly Hindus—following the sudden political transition in Bangladesh.

In an exclusive interview with Dainik Swadesh Barta, Mukherjee addressed the growing curiosity in Bangladesh regarding India’s stance, noting the surge of engagement on his social media from concerned Bangladeshi citizens. He emphasized India’s historical ties with the Awami League, especially since the Liberation War, and acknowledged Delhi’s disappointment over the party’s fall. However, he clarified that India remains committed to strong bilateral relations with the people of Bangladesh, not just with any one political party.

Mukherjee welcomed the rise of Nobel laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus as Bangladesh’s new leader and expressed India’s willingness to continue cooperation. Addressing anti-India rhetoric by some factions within the new regime—particularly concerning the northeastern “Seven Sisters” states—he advised patience, noting the new government’s inexperience and calling for mature diplomacy.

Touching on the plight of minorities, Mukherjee said, “In times of political upheaval, minority communities, especially Hindus, often feel the brunt of instability.” He acknowledged the vulnerability of these groups amid the current uncertainty but remained hopeful that the new government would restore order and protect all citizens. “We trust that Bangladesh will stay true to the spirit of its Liberation War,” he added.
