Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra brought attention to minority rights in Bangladesh by carrying a bag reading, “Stand with Bangladeshi Hindus and Christians,” in Parliament. This followed her earlier controversy over a “Palestine” bag. She urged the Indian government to engage diplomatically with Dhaka to address attacks on minorities. BJP leaders accused her of "communal posturing," while Priyanka emphasized India’s historical commitment to minority rights, citing the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. She dismissed criticism of her attire as patriarchal. India’s strategic ties with Bangladesh remain crucial amid concerns over rising violence against minorities.
