BJP neta touts ‘circumcision test’ for citizenship seekers, stirs row

IndiaTimes Sunday, 17 March 2024
A recent social media post by BJP leader Tathagata Roy has sparked controversy, suggesting that circumcision should be a determining factor for the religious identity of male applicants seeking citizenship under the CAA. The TMC has criticized the comment as a "vulgar jibe," questioning the BJP's underlying agenda. The CAA aims to provide Indian citizenship to persecuted minorities from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan who arrived in India by 2014.

Bangladesh: Thousands of Minority Hindus Rally in Dhaka, Demand Protection From Anti-Hindu Mobs

In the wake of escalating violence against minorities in Bangladesh, hundreds have taken to the streets of Dhaka to demand urgent protections for Hindus and other vulnerable communities. Following the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August, minority groups report a significant increase in threats and attacks, perceived as reprisals due to their support for her regime. The caretaker government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has condemned these attacks but insists many are politically motivated rather than based on religious intolerance. #Bangladesh #MinorityRights #DhakaProtests #HinduCommunity #SheikhHasina #MuhammadYunus #PoliticalViolence
